Wooly Bully

 I had to card some more Jacob because I found the Crepidula vest that is in need of more handspun.



 Now that the weather is cold I want to wear this crazy thing but it is missing a few important inches and that ball of yarn is mighty small.


I do love knitting with this yarn. The random colors that I card into the white and brown are beautiful.

 Jacob takes dye very nicely.


 I went looking for the vest to work on because I am FINISHED with son's cardi.


 It is blocking all over the house but this tale is far from over. Next I have the finishing adventure which includes grafting. Ick. As if mattress stitch wasn't bad enough.

    I love the vest handspun. The blend of colors is terrific. I have a pair of fair isle leg warmers waiting to be finished. Wish I was more comfortable with the seaming.

    The vest is working up beautifully-won't you miss having it to work on?! The cardigan-finishing isn't as much fun as knitting but it is still 'finishing' and that is great!

    Your knittings are so beautiful. And you can make them from fleece to garment - this is amazing!

    Good luck with the finishing! I think that's the toughest part. It's going to be an awesome sweater and well worth the effort! Love that vest. Amazing how the weather affects our activities, isn't it?
