Here she is in all her glory. I am not a photographer, but I am a knitter. This is the first sweater I have handknitted from my own sheep's wool that I also hand spun. I started when the fair started and finished this week. I tried to take a picture of the ribbing with cables detail but it still doesn't do it justice. I love the feel of it and I know I will be able to wear it this winter. 
I am really proud of this one. Now to spin the wool from Isabel's first shearing this last spring and make something from her wonderful fiber. I have 10 sheep now, so I need to speed it up. I have lots of ideas too.
Spin on........................................Sheena

That is such a BIG accomplishment - a sweater where you raised and sheared the sheep, washed and spun the yarn and then knit it all yourself! I'm proud to be your friend!
Those sheep in pajamas are sure cute.
Miss you too; looking forward to the end of racing season when you two come back to class.
Take care,
