Knitting Again!

Whew! Now that the craft shows and holidays are over (for a bit), I've been taking a breather from sewing like a mad woman and paying attention to my other crafts that have been languishing on the sidelines the last few months. I had knit several scarves and sweaters for my animals to sell, but nothing for my own family. So I'm now tackling a few personal items. I've finally finished my son's sweater—I started it nearly two years ago! I spun the yarn from so very lovely hand-dyed wool and mohair cloud, making a little heavier then normal 2 ply worsted yarn. I then knit it up into a fun sweater with a front pocket, like a hoody sweatshirt. The sweater was supposed to have a hood, too, in fact. However, I ran out of fiber and since I purchased it so long ago, there was no hope of getting more. So it has a crew neck. I think it still looks cute on him, though! He looks a little like a street urchin in it—hand-spun and hand-knit sweaters look about as far from commercial sweaters as you can get. At least mine do!

When the weather cooperates and it's sunny, maybe I'll snap some pictures.
