Yarn Therapy

I did attempt to work on the concept hat today, but I did not get very far. Today was just a busy day of phone calls and surprise visits. I feel like I spent half the day on the phone, but I didn't chat with anyone for very long. Truthfully, I spent most of the day in a funk. Now that the wedding is over and every one is moving on with life again, I'm feeling a little down. I had a truly fantastic time and it's always really hard for me to return to life after seeing my old friends. So, after watching a particularly funny segment of the Daily Show today that did wonders for getting my mood up a bit, I decided to try some yarn therapy. I pulled out the Tiny Toes yarn I mentioned the other day and went to work. I balled both hanks and they look so pretty! Check them out!



Then I decided to attack the Louet Gems yarn that I have marked for making a Chapeau Marnier. It's almost funny that the 2 yarns I chose to wind today are earmarked for projects for me. I hardly ever make myself anything, but I guess I'm feeling it right now. :) I already own one red hat, but I can't wait to make another. It looks so pretty when it's all balled up.

See what I mean? Lovely yarn. Balling it up helped to relax me a bit. There's something meditative about letting the yarn run through your fingers while you ball it up. I don't know what it is, but it's relaxing. :)
