Update

I finally got around to taking pictures and wanted to show what I had been working on all this time (click on the pictures to expand):

black and salmon yarn

This is the yarn I made during that spinning marathon several months ago. I finally got it washed and measured and skeined. :)

The salmon is from hand-painted merino/mohair roving that I got from the farmers’ market. The black is natural Teesdale from a shepherdess who is breeding them here in Oklahoma. I had to card that first, but it’s beautiful stuff.

two pieces of sweater

Here’s the sweater I’ve been working on. This is Knitty.com’s Arrieta pattern, in KnitPicks Shine Sport yarn (60% Pima Cotton, 40% ModalĀ®), colors: Black, Serenade, Turquoise, Harbor, and Sky. (I notice they’re not carrying Turquoise anymore, I wonder if they ran out)

Anyway, this is my first sweater, and it’s going okay. I’ve been working on this since early summer; I have the back and the left front done, and I’m working on the right front. At this rate, by the time I finish this it’ll be early summer again!
