All This By Hand

All Out

I went all out for John's Valentine's Day box for school.  He loves it, too.

True Love

I found this note from my husband on the table after breakfast one morning. 

Leaves Like Roses

Recently some red leaves started falling from trees all over our neighborhood.  It made our walk beautiful.

Handspun (aka Why I Get No Housework Done During Naptime)

Shortly after I got my spinning wheel I did a fair bit of spinning, then it made its way into the craft closet where it stayed for a bit.  When I started spinning again this winter I became truly hooked.  I bought a pound of "wool pool" mixed wool from Spunky Eclectic and decided to spin a 3-ply fingering weight yarn to make a sweater.  

The fiber (colorway is Castaway)

The singles (I spun just over two miles of them)

The yarn (skeined then yarn-caked)

All of the yarn

The knitting (unblocked)

I'm knitting Tempest without the stripes.  I love this sweater pattern and I can see a few more of this incredible basic in my knitting future.  I cannot wait to finish it and hope to wear it before it gets to be so hot here.
