Every New Year's Eve I participate in a Spin-In in a Ravelry group. This is what I spun today - a little sample of a fibre I was given over a year ago. It was a beautiful fibre, full of curly locks, but it ended up being really hard to spin, I think I will have to think of something else to do with it.
I was hoping that this sweater would be finished before the end of the year. It is getting there though, only a few inches to go.
At the start of the year I was hoping to have a completely "me-made" outfit, and I am so pleased that happened (I have more than one now - bra, panties and everything!). Photo in our bedroom mirror (made years ago by my Dad), but all that I am wearing are things I made this year.
