A First







Here is the result of my very first attempt at spinning enough of the same thing in order to make a garment bigger than a pair of socks. It started out as a rather tiny shrug and kept growing as I happily discovered I had more than enough yarn to make an entire full length raglan cardigan. I even have enough to make longer sleeves but I am rather liking the shorter ones. It has that Baby Surprise Jacket look that I think works well with the variegated colors in the yarn. I also added wider front bands to get some additional closure as I am not a big fan of having the girls on display even if the girls are nothing to brag about. The cute little thing actually fits but I have nothing to put under it at the moment that looks right-so the mug shot is a long ways off yet.

  1. That's a nice color. It almost blends in with the deck. By the way, you should re-finish the deck.

  3. Did Zak just volunteer to re-finish the deck?

  4. I think he did!

    (And lovely sweater. Can't wait to see it modeled. Of course, not having anything to go under it is just an excuse to go shopping, right?)
