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):
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.
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!
