Handspun

I wanted to show you all Laurie's first handspun yarn!  For Christmas, my present to her was to take a spinning class.  The first class was last saturday and this was the result!  I will note that it is not totally finished - at the next class, Laurie will learn to ply the yarn together.  At the little yarn store that we go to, not only are you able to use their store wheels to take a class with, but you can come into the store anytime and use one of their spinning wheels.  So we don't need to rush out and get a wheel right now just so she can practice, which is nice.  Well, I just wanted to share my excitement and Laurie's wonderful handiwork so you all can admire! :)

JP's sweater


Here is the sweater that Heather made for JP. It fits pretty well except the sleeves are a little long. Maybe they will fit before he outgrows the sweater. The buttons were cute but not very practical so I am going to put round ones on that won't scratch his face.
Do you like the clashing outfit? You can't see it in the picture but he also has on blue striped socks. What was I thinking? Oh yeah, I was thinking that the sweater and socks would keep him warm.
Thank you Heather, for the sweater.
