Lace Leaves Cowl and Hat

Last fall, when I did the photo shoot with Emma, at Auburn Rose Photography, I didn't put all the pictures on the blog at the same time. Here is one of my favorite projects, the lace leaves cowl and hat that are knit from hand-painted yarn from Greenberry House, the knitting shop of my cousin in Meadows-of-Dan, Virginia. It is an alpaca yarn, light, but extremely soft and warm. Last winter, I wore this set almost constantly.

And here are pictures of my pets, my female beta fish, Pippy and Zula.
