This is my sister Liz in a sweater I knit from a Phildar yarn. It's a blend of acrylic, alpaca, and mohair. The pattern is my own design.

This is our friends' son Will in a doggie sweater I made. The yarn is Brown Sheep NatureSpun worsted. The pattern is from Zoe Mellor's book Animal Knits.

Here are some of the hats I've made in the past few weeks. The blue one is unknown fiber, the brown ones are handspun wool (not mine, though), and the red hat is Brown Sheep's Country Classic. The socks are Brown Sheep NatureSpun worsted. Mimi is stalking the socks - she's eaten a couple things made with this yarn. I have no idea why.

Here is my latest finished spinning project. This is 800-1000 yards of maybe sport weight wool. It's from a Finn fleece I purchased on eBay. It's nice and soft, and hopefully the extra VM (vegetable matter) will come out in the knitting.

Here's the second batch of hats. They're all made in Brown Sheep Country Classic. Some friends of ours are going to adopt a child from Russia later this year, and these items will be going with them for the children at the orphanage.

Here we have my first attempt at the Wonderful Wallaby from Cottage Creations. It was a way to use up yarn left over from the doggie sweater. The stripes and blue pocket are because I was low on red. Turned out pretty good, I think!

Here's Will in his new Wallaby sweater. His mom says it was a hit at the playground and the other moms were disappointed that it wasn't a purchased item.

My mom wearing her Mother's Day gift. It's a shawl made with Luxury Mohair from King Cole, and it turned out pretty nicely, I think.

Wool soaker knit for my friend's new baby out of Lion Brand Fisherman's Wool, dyed with Kool-Aid. I believe I used Orange, Strawberry, Lemon-Lime, and Black Cherry. The pattern is the Little Turtle Knits soaker pattern.
