How many months later?

I've enjoyed this shawl all summer, but just now had time to take and post pics.

The yarn is Jupiter Moon, the pattern is Never Not Knitting and, of course, I found it on Ravelry.

To see it as a work in progress, click here.

Jupiter Moon's skeins are EXTREMELY generous, so I had enough cormo left over to make fingerless mitts. They are about a day from completion and will get posted in the next week or so. Promise!

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!
