Okay, time to take a break. Thank God I took next week off from work. I finished Mom's sweater and Dad's blanket. I think they liked them.

Dad wearing his blanket.

Pattern: Cable Comfort Throw from Lion Brand.

Yarn: Lion Brand Thick & Quick.

Mods: I used size 15 needles instead of the recommended 13. I only did 4 panels instead of 5. That's about it. Mom's Sweater

Pattern: Personal Pattern. Created using the help of Sweater Wizard. Top-Down.

Yarn: Elann Superwash Bamboo in Pottery Red.

First Spin

Used 1 oz of "Ra" superwash wool. 4 oz of Ra is available on my etsy. ***self promotion***.

I am very proud of this first try at spinning on a wheel. The Wheel? Stella a Kromski Minstrel. Yes, her name is Stella and I love her.

Special thanks to Mom and Dad for this wonderful gift.
