Cedar Leaf Shawlette

Here's the first few rows of my Cedar Leaf Shawlette by Never Not Knitting.

I used the cormo wool from my Jupiter Moon share. Super soft!

The shawl is actually complete and being enjoyed. I'll get Rob to take a picture of me in it soon.

Martha's Vineyard...Uh, I mean Jupiter Moon Fiber Farm

My yarn from Jupiter Moon arrived back in November. It needed to be gently washed before being knitted, which bought me some time to decide what to make.

Here it is hanging in my bathroom after soaking in the tub. Oohh. Yummy.

I have to confess, I still haven't knit with this part of my share yet. The Cormo, on the other hand, has already been knitted and worn. I'll get some photos of that up in the next couple of days.

Like I said before, this CSA gives me all the benefits of being a shepherdess and none of the dirt. Woo-hoo!

Pastoral Dreams

I like to joke with Rob about getting a sheep when we get a house, so we don't have to mow the lawn and I can learn to spin. I figure we could "loan" the sheep to the neighbors to mow their lawns, if we run out of grass.

That house is still pretty far away, but I'm living the dream vicariously -- I bought a share of Martha's Vineyard Fiber Farms spring shear. I get all the thrill of following my wool from sheep to sweater and none of the dirt. Woo-hoo!
