I knit it right off the drop spindle, which I'm pretty sure is a no-no.
Help me decide! And then I can spin up that bump of pink and make the opposite.

indecision
I've been spinning up the 4 oz. of lovely deep blue merino roving I bought at A Verb for Keeping Warm on our trip to California. The colorway is called "Baltic."
It was supposed to be a cowl, which I figured was the perfect way to use up every single bit of yarn.
But then I plopped it on my head and now I think it might be a hat.

It is gorgeous!!!! You entirely misled me as to the squadgliness of it all. It is quite lovely in its inconsistencies. I think it looks darling as a hat! And the color looks lovely on you.
:P That doesn't help your indecision though, does it??
Either way, I am very impressed. And jealous. And request that you teach me how to spin, and then how to cable without a needle.
I remember my husband and I bought a bag full of alpaca fur & a drop-spindle about 10 years ago...I tried to spin, but it was not easy and I gave up. I admire your perseverance...and the cowl is beautiful. The blue hat is nice, but I think a pink hat would be prettier on you.
I went with the cowl, which is wonderfully cozy. I'll do the same thing with the pink and see how I feel at that pivotal moment--to decrease or not to decrease!
