An FO

Yes, I’m still knitting. And I’m so proud of this one, so forgive me for going on about it for a bit. (I’m guessing that random strangers on the train today will be less impressed… )

(Dodgy L-R reversed photo from webcam – I’ll get John to do a decent photoshoot in a few days)
Climbing Vines Pullover from Interweave Knits, Winter 2008.
Yarn: handspun (yes, by ME!) Merino/silk blend from Wingham Wool Work.

I love, love, love, love, love this. I did quite a lot of things wrong (swatch, what swatch?), but somehow the knitting gods have smiled on me (and the knitting police have cast a blind eye) and it FITS!

Squeeeee!

That is looking awesome. I saw it on Ravelry, and loved it there, and still love it here, too.

I’m looking to cast on with a sweater-worth of handspun v. soon now, so this is definitely inspiring!
