So, I finished the Daybreak and I absolutely love it. As predicted, I immediately cast on for another Stephen West pattern. This time, I'll be knitting Daybreak - in handspun no less!! I'm super proud of myself for doing that. I've written before about my hesitancy to use handspun. I think I even listed that as a goal for 2011. I'm really trying to see the potential of this beautiful yarn - not to see it as a final project in itself.
Here is the blocked daybreak on my floor. So happy with the yarn and the pattern. I highly recommend both
The daybreak on my back porch.
Here is a photo of some locks from the 'big project'. The rest of the fleece is currently undergoing a 'cold soak' in a large rubbermaid container. I decided to hand wash a few locks just to see how they look. I handcombed the locks, and will likely spin these up to see how they turn out. Pretty aren't they?
Oooh pretty. It looks beautiful. I'm trying to get my cold soaked merino x tunis fleecemto dry in the greenhouse but it's been fairly chilly so it's still damp. Maybe today and tomorrow?
