I have picked out the first sweater pattern for 2013. It is Rib Waist Cardigan, by Rita Moreno and it is in the book Curvy Knits 2. (edited--designer is JILLIAN Moreno, not Rita. :-b.) I have been admiring the pattern for some time.
So with the pattern in hand, I surveyed the stash. And the winner is green handspun Romney. Home-grown and dyed by my friend Sue Ann (AKA the Sassy Red Ewe) and spun by me.
So today, the wool took a dip and after soaking, was hung to dry in the drying rack in the tub. I haven't dried this much yarn at one time before. But it should done in plenty to time to wind before New Year's Eve.
And maybe even swatch!
With thoughts, and occasional rants, on farm, family and crafting. Just to stay sane, I knit. A lot!
