The first project with my own handspun!

I have been on a knitting tear lately, trying to get my first project using my own handspun yarn finished so that I can get a move on to other things.  My friend and mentor, Heidi, gave me the roving a while ago…lovely purple, pink and yellow swirled through a nice BFL roving…not what she was hoping for, but I loved it…I always joke that my middle name is Florida, and these are all my favorite colors together.

This photo shows the colors, and the fact that a lot of extra twist gave this yarn a very artsy-phartsy look.

I began the Felicity scarf from “Mindful Knitting”, and knit on my favorite Lantern Moon needles.

A recent trip to Pittsburgh to visit family gave me just the time I needed to get a lot of knitting in.  While others were canoeing or biking, I sat and enjoyed the breeze and finished the scarf!

I then soaked the scarf…the light was just perfect that September morning…

And then blocked it, with a little help from a friend.

Cats and yarn.  Yarn and cats.

I’ll soon get a picture of the scarf on, maybe after the weather cools down a little more.

I loved making this scarf so much, that I have already cast on another, knowing that the holidays are just around the corner!
