I just finished putting my 2025 projects into Ravelry – something I know I need to do as I finish a project. But sometimes other things take priority, and then I forget, and then I remember, but put it off…avoidance just leads to more of the same. But as I finished documenting my projects, I thought it might be fun to share the journey of one special project, a hat for my dad – the Ouessant Beanie.

From the beginning of Color Me Happy Fiber Arts Studio, we wanted to be part of the Fibershed movement that supports regional systems of fiber – from makers to users of that fiber, in ways that enrich and support the environment.

For us, that meant working with local fiber producers and nearby mills to create special yarns that you just can’t find anywhere else!
