My projects

Someone told me I needed more pictures, so here we go!

This chunky cowl was made with THE yarn that I purchased on Etsy by a fellow handspinner in Canada. It is so beautiful that I was inspired to get my wheel out and start spinning again. With the help of amazing fiber artists, also on Etsy, I have been able to find beautiful rovings for my handspun yarn projects.

This was made using two strands of yarn together with a simple garter stitch and big needles. I had these beautiful, irridescent Czech glass buttons I had purchased for making jewelry with and they went perfect with this cowl. The yarn is merino, bamboo, and nylon, a totally soft combination. This cowl can be worn snug on the neck (very cozy) or with the top curled over. Either way, it's very comfy and I'm very happy with the way it turned out.

I call it, ELEGANCE
