mmmmmm woolly goodness

My fibre from The Sweet Sheep arrived yesterday!!!!


It's is so incredibly amazing. The colour. The texture.


There's merino, merino-bamboo, merino-tencel, blue-faced leicester, and falkland. Variety is the spice of life!


So I picked some merino (the stuff on the far left in the first photo) and...

I think something really clicked for me last night! It's SO much fun. It's going to be a 2-ply.

Hey Alley, it's Kim, Anne's friend. I saw you asked what sweater that was on my son, Cole. It's from Son of a Stitch n Bitch, and is called Retro Cardigan. It reminds me of Mr. Rogers. . . . . but that's what Cole wanted. In the book they show it striped, but he wanted plain (thankfully). . . . I added about 5 inches to his sleeves (he's 6'6" and has ape arms). . .
