I finished some things!!!

This past 2 weeks I have finished several things. First we had to fix an outside faucet that broke and was leaking water into the walls. Then the hot water heater broke and we had to have that replaced. Next I put a finish on my spinning wheel with danish oil and I plied the first skein of 3-ply brown wool. Today finished knitting something out of a handspun yarn and finally seamed the Baby surprise jacket and put the buttons on.

So along with finishing things I started something new. I got the new KnitPicks catalogue and ordered CotLin in Kohlrabi and the pattern/yarn for the Telmark Ski Sweater. I have knit up the front and back of a sweater out of the CotLin. I just love the drape of this yarn.
Now I just have to start the sleeves and figure out how the lace pattern will work with the increases. I plan on knitting both sleeves at the same time to make sure I get them identical.
