My creations! the two i spun are on the left, and the commercially spun one is on the right.

My first 100% Angora project! (excluding the tassels which i spun from raw Alpaca)

Well i know it's not Christmas yet, but i got my gift early from the UPS lady, what is this gift you ask? it's the Bond Ultimate Sweater Machine!!
I found hand knitting to be very time consuming,and tricky. I do have alot of spun yarn piling up and now i have found the perfect use for it! The 'Sweater' machine is amazing, i did the projects above in a few short hours, and although there were some bumps along the way, as there is with learning anything, i think i'm getting the hang of it, i also learned to do the eyelet stich, and made a flower pattern on the two outside 'half' scarves on the ends. By half scarves, i mean that the ends are connected by the tasseling, so instead of tying it, you simply put it over your head.
I'm now on Christmas break from school so i'll have lots of time to play with my new toy! i'm going try to learn the cable stitch next, and who knows maybe start a sweater?!
