My First Hat and Scarf Set

1. Here's a picture of my first hat EVER paired up with a scarf. My husband liked my son's scarf so much that I had to make him one. This was made with Nako yarn which I purchased on Craigslist for $1 a skein! YES just $1! Needless to say I purchased about 70 skeins all together on two separate trips to see the nice woman who had the ad up on Craigslist. So this set cost me about $3. The hat was really easy to make. It's not knit on dpns or circulars, I'm still a little too scared to use those, but just regular needles. I had such a great sense of pride and accomplishment when I was done with this set. It looks so nice. Oh except for the seam in the hat that's a LITTLE crooked. Just a smidge. Something to work on for next time.
   I'm currently working on a scarf made from Nako Portofino yarn. It's very poodley looking and a little difficult to work with but so far, so good. I had tried to use eyelash yarn but that was a fiasco and I only cast on then pulled it immediately.
   A couple of days ago I read about the NYS Sheep and Wool Festival in Rhinebeck, NY. It looks like a lot of fun! We're (we being me and my family) thinking of going up for the day. It looks like it might have something for everyone. Here's the link: http://www.sheepandwool.com/
