Ok So I have decided to begin to spin some yarn for a sweater. as of yet I have not spun enough yarn to knit a sweater with it so this is a big project. I have chosen a fleece that I have had waiting to be spun for about a year now. I sampled it with my drop spindle and I think it will be beautiful now the idea is to spin all the yarn up on my drop spindle in a spindle to sweater. I have chosen a Debbie bliss pattern a cable jacket to make the sweater into. I am excited I just hope i am patient enough to use my spindle instead of the wheel. There will be much satisfaction if I accomplish this.
On a not so fiber note. I got Dance Dance Revolution for the Wii for my Birthday which is in a few weeks. All I can say is What Fun!! and a good workout.

Hello all, my name is Lisa. I live in Vermont. I have 2 cats and a loving husband who supports me in everything I do.
My passion is the fiber arts. I love to knit, spin, and weave, but mostly knitting. Basically if you can make it with yarn I love it. Oh and rug punching as well.

I mostly plan to share my adventures in knitting with a few extras thrown in.

right now I am working on two projects. the cable Luxe Tunic which is a free pattern available through Lion brand, and I have also started the Kelmscott Cardigan available through Twist collective.

The yarn for the cable luxe tunic is Lion brand wool-ease worsted Cranberry . the yarn for the Kelmscott is Angora merino blend purchased at Webbs.com
