I think you should feel proud for climbing that learning curve so quickly. (Both are beautiful though, IMO.) And anyway, I was just reading that so often experienced spinners attempt to go back and spin thick and thin yarn like they effortlessly managed to do when they were new spinners, and are surprised to find how difficult it is to do.

I think it might have to be a teeeensy squishy hat, but I'm dying to see how it knits up... maybe I'll knit an egg-cup cover! :) @Phoe – Thank you!
