Handspun Bella cardigan is cast on.
It’s full of stars.
Felted Bag goodness.
Here is a link to the pattern.
This was a lovely little knit. The only alteration I made was to add a cellphone pocket on the back. I may knit another pocket to felt and sew inside. I’m also still mulling over some needle felt ornamentation. But I’ve been using it every day as my go to bag. It’s just big enough for my tablet and small knitting project (along with normal purse stuff)

So last summer at the Black Sheep festival I bought my first fleece.
It was a lovely small jacob, with the typical dual colored dark brown and ivory coat.
On and off (okay mostly off) all year I’ve been combing it and spinning it up.
I started with the dark wool, then did some combo and finished with the light fleece so as to have a nice gradation of finished yarn. It’s all approximately worsted weight, and navajo plied.
Today I took the plunge and dyed it up a lovely jeweled purple, which gave me just the effect I was going for. There’s slightly more difference between the light purple and the deep deep burgundy than shows in this picture, but it’s pretty close.
Now I just need to let it dry and knit it up into a lovely cabled wrap I’ve had my eye on for a while.
