When all else fails....

Improvise.

I of course don't have a ball winder at work, so this had to do.

I kind of grabbed it on my way out the door going to work, so I made due with what I had.

It's my hand spun Louet Merino, about a Dk/worsted weight., 241 yds.

Enough to make This cute little hat for Zara. I'd take it with me to London but it'll be spring by then, so I'll mail it to her. I got started on the ribbing at least...

I did work on Lauren for a bit too. I got the sleeves on a piece of yarn and can now start working on the body. I got about 2 rows in when I got bored and started the hat.
