All Things Must Come To An End

 
 
You're probably wondering about the title but there's a reason for it. My mom gave me a bin full of yarn a while ago because she doesn't knit anymore. Well, I recently got into making hats (see other blogs) so I thought I would make one for Gord since he drives a semi to Alberta now quite a few times a month (if all goes well) and apparently it's COLD there. This yarn that I'm using is not your ordinary yarn it is an unspun sheep's wool ( Link Here ) called White Buffalo. It has been discontinued for about ten years now. Gord already has a Cowichan sweater so I'm very happy to have this yarn to match that. Maybe the wool is still available as different products, I'm not sure, but this is the reason for the title.
 
I'm at the stage now that I need some sort of a pattern so maybe a deer or an eagle. Maybe I'll take the design from his sweater and use that. In any case, I will let you know the finished product when it's done. I think I'll write out the pattern as well as it's hard to find a free pattern for these hats online and I like FREE. :)

  1. I thought the title meant that you'd get to the end of your yarn :)
