Re: End of an era for me
I still have my Tina II, and have contemplated moving it along.? Any spinning I do is on the Hansen, so I really should.? About the time I was finally ready to sell, Black Sheep Gathering was

There are SO MANY freebie hats on Ravelry, I think it depends on her inclination/taste.? Maybe something in bulky in colors she likes?? Maybe stripes, so there's something going on besides just
