Eye -eee-ah!






Eye-eee-ah! That is kind of the sound an ewok makes and I always thought Rosielooked like one in her hat and long sox set last year. I was inspired by a hat she inherited, green sweater and a need to cover her ankles when going on long walks with her in her Bjorn. So I washed the sweater, cut it up and made super long sox to go right over her other footwear, and an eared and tassled toque to pull on to match based on the one I loved. It is fun to repurpose old sweaters and figure out how best to use the cuffs, collars, and sleeves to best advantage. I'm hoping to find some good 100% wool ones this year and play with felting a bit more. Ah, thrift stores!
