New gadgets!
I started knitting my first sweater. Yes, it's true I have never knit a whole sweater. I like knitting smaller projects (the kind I can finish). I found this beautiful pattern by Louisa Harding. I chose Silky Wool in a great brown color. The picture doesn't quite show the true color.
Here the picture of the sweater. I'm not going to do stripes, just simple and pretty brown.
I got a new swift, the old one needed to be retired. I really like this one!
Also a new ball winder. This ball winder will wind up to 1 pound of yarn.
I'll be posting pictures of new yarn very soon.

Fo Hawk, Market Bag and Yarn!
I finished the baby hat! It was a quick knit and it turned out great. If you want to make your own scroll down for more info in my last post.
This is a pattern I picked up at The Yarnery recently. It's a market bag pattern by Theresa Gaffey. I knit it in the yarn suggested, Rowan Glace. It was a good mindless knit and I think it turned out well.
Oh my! You know sometimes late at night you find yourself shopping on the internet. The next morning you wake up and say "what have a done!". Well I was so happy when I received my Fleece Artist Jacket kit in the mail. It's more beautiful then I remember.
Picture of the jacket. I purchased the kit through www.colorsongyarns.com
I have been spinning like a maniac. Here is a photo of my new Louet S20. I decided it would be a good idea to get a teaching wheel. I love my students, but it's hard to watch a newbee man-handle your fancier Ashford (you understand, right?).
Another view of some of the yarn drying.
That's it for now, as my mom would say "upward and onward".

Fo Hawk Baby Hat!
I am knitting this pattern right now. It's a great pattern, not too difficult that you can't bring it to your knit night at your local bar, but enough patterning to keep your attention.
Here is my hat. I'm using self-striping sock yarn. The pattern has you change between two yarns, and I'm just too lazy for that.
The cute mug in the picture was made by my friend Jennie. Check out her website www.jenniethepotter.com
