Knittin My Own, Part Deux

I had this.

Blue-faced Leicester combed top.

I made this.

2-ply, DK wgt, 525 yards

I changed this way.

Hand-painted with acid dye, shades of Crimson

I took advice, and I knitted with it. It turned out like this.

Sunkist Cardi, with a couple mods, but nothing earth shaking.

It fits, and she says she likes it. So that is pretty sweet stuff for me.  Also, it's soft.

But she said she will wear it later, if I didn't mind very much...like when it isn't 95 degrees outside.

I understand.

My own handspun, handdyed, handknit cardigan. I think I can hang out with the cool kids now.

    ...to my humble effort. Thanks for taking the time to stop by, and I hope you find something mildly interesting, slightly amusing, barely creative, or at the very least, not too terribly trite.
