Recent Yarn Projects

I've been knitting and crocheting this winter. I'm looking forward to getting the sheep sheared and getting more wool to play with!

Here's my newest project.... Socks!!


Here is a poncho I crocheted for Kit, from handspun wool from our sheep:



Sadie liked it so much she wanted one, too (this is the Martha Stewart "Coming Home" pattern, aka "The Prison Poncho"):



And for Kit's baby goat kids, I crocheted three little jackets. Here's one:



Sadie is just enchanted with the Knifty Knitters. She wanted a sweater made from the biggest one (for the bodice) and the littlest one (for the sleeves). It went together a lot faster than I thought it would. It's from two strands, one store-bought, one handspun, from our sheep. I dyed the handspun in purple coolaid to get a nice lavender color. Yes, it smelled like grape for a while. ;)
