Cassandra does makeup for actors on location; in New York winters she is warm in her crocheted hat with ear flaps.

If anyone can tell me how she knit this helix scarf, please do. It is knit with a lightly dyed cochineal yarn.

Marilyn knit this hat using Catskill Merino Yarn. She was gracious enough to furnish the pattern; if you would like a copy contact me and I'll send it along.

When these two sisters, who were visiting from Georgia, left the stand they looked at each other in Catskill Merino hats and high-fived.

Nancy is good, she doesn't work from patterns. She knit this raglan sleeved pullover with Catskill Merino naturally dyed madder yarn using #11 needles.

Farm-made hats of merino yarn in Union Square on a couple up from Oz where it's still summertime on the first of March.

On Saturday David came by the stand to show us his hat knit with Naturally Hand-Dyed Yarn. He said he felt good knitting yarn that came from a shepherd and his sheep, rather than from a store. That's what farmers' markets are all about—connectedness—it's refreshing to see it take hold of people; and when he felt it, I felt it too, thanks David. These are the moments that make the world worth itself and more.

Daniel knit his scarf with 2 skeins of madder-dyed Catskill Merino yarn.

Thank you for coming by and showing us your work Holly, Joe looks great. A hat in stockinette (alternating rows of knit and purl) will take one skein, but a cabled hat like Joe's will take more yarn.
