I made this hat for my husband.  It is knitted from llama hair that I bought at Pennsic.  I spun it on a drop spindle, single ply.

These knee high socks are made with by knitting two strands of a very fine and fuzzy mohair silk blend.  They are made using the magic loop technique on size 5 circular needles.  I don’t recomend knitting fuzzy eggplant colored yarn on black needles.  The stitches are hard to see.  This is the kind of sock you don’t rip out if you make a mistake.  The stitches are too hard to pick up again.  I’m glad I finally finished them.  Not sure if I’ll use this yarn again, except to knit up the two left over balls I have.  They doo feel divine though.

This is my first attempt at two color knitting.  It is based on 14th century Egyptian socks.  My socks are ankle socks though and the period ones were knee length.  Here is a link to an article that tells all about them: http://docs.google.com/View?id=dc4j44t3_83hmp5gmc3
