Yarn Everywhere!

I promised myself I would post once I finished something, and finished something I have! So I am taking time out of the work-work, school-work, and general freaking out about graduation and THE REST OF MY LIFE to bring you this:

Pattern: Fetching by Cheryl Niamath from Knitty

Yarn: My handspun, from the 50% merino/25% alpaca/25% bombyx silk and angora blend roving I got from Belfast Minimills. Ridiculously soft.

Needles: Knit Picks Nickel-Plated DPN’s, set of four

I made these for my mother’s birthday. I’m making my father Dashing (the for-boys version of Fetching - there’s a boy kind and a girl kind! So cute! I couldn’t resist) for his birthday, which is four days after my mother’s. Those have quite a ways to go. I wanted to use handspun for them as well, but my initial spinning plan didn’t work out, and now it’s too late. Alas.

This pattern was ridiculously simple and quick, and it fits great. I recommend it.

I just updated my Ravelry account for the first time in forever. Now it is all up to date. Ahhhh.
