Reunited

I started knitting a shawl with yarn I had spun a long time ago.  This yarn was produced at least a year before we left Maryland. We've lived in Florida for almost 2 years.

So ... I finally started knitting the shawl.

about 25% of the way into this project, I knew I was not going to have enough handspun yarn.  I wasn't too worried as I had already planned to combine it with a purchased yarn.

AND

I had plenty more wool that I could (in theory) spin into yarn.

AND

My Kromski wheel came into the sewing room. After several years, it was fun to spin again.

This is plied and ready for a bath.

This is what was left of the 1st skein.

That will carry me through a few more rows. Then I can finish off with this - another 200 yards of beautiful handspun.  

I'm loving how this yarn is knitting up ... is soft but still has good stitch definition.

Florida is the land of "chiller chasers."
