OK first thanks to Katie for the freebee that started this coat. As I mentioned previously I began spinning a few months ago and am loving it. Shortly after starting I went to a meeting of the Tulsa Handspinners Guild and met Katie along with many other spinners. She then had me follow her to her home where she began to give me several bags of wool in different colors and breeds. Some of which I used for this coat. It began as a mass of clean gray hair and I spun it into a thick and bumpy yarn I am so proud. I had a few little hickups along the way but it all came out ok. I really can't believe I not only spun it all but knit a huge coat in about 2 months. Not bad if I do say so myself. Now that I think about it in that time I have also knit a cardigan for my preggo sister and a lace Tam for my daughter. Wow Wow Wow I am the queen of unfinished projects and I have started and finished 3 in 2 months. AMAZING I'm not bragging really I truly can't believe I have done it all.
On an almost unrelated topic I actually sent a msg. to Vicki Howell's blog (Knitty Gritty on DIY), think it was the wine. I think I am in love ha ha ha
