After returning from Maryland Sheep and Wool I have a fresh desire to knit. Really it came the week before when I realized I had nothing "Festival Worthy"  to wear  that would say "I'm proud to be knitter". 








Below are my purchases. They don't actually fill that whole basket (they are propped up by some older skeins underneath).

I have some roving and I don't know how to spin yet but I will soon! You'll notice my boring colors. Brown, grey, white, cream. I do this all the time. I should be on Nuetral Yarn Restriction. I do love nuetrals (and earthy tones) but they aren't the only colors I like, they are just the only colors I buy.

So, it seems like there should be some kind of epic begining to a blog but I'm going to skip that. Instead I'll just show what I took off the blocking board this morning!



This sweater has been finished (minus the ends being weaved in) for quite some time but now that it's too warm to wear it, it's finished. My husband, Luke, bought me this yarn for Christmas. 


Add Image



I started this vest last Friday and blocked it lastnight. I don't have buttons for the front yet so I decided to only post the back. I'll put a picture of the front on after I find the bottons I'm looking for and get them attached.
I hope to post a pattern for it. It will be my first time writing a pattern. I have no idea how to size a pattern so it will come in size "Sherelle" until I become educated in sizing. Part of my hope in having this blog is to get some patterns out there. We'll see how that works  out.
