Cleaves, my way

First it was merino top, then I dyed it to this, spun it to this and now, after only 4 hours of knitting, it's something I never thought I'd wear but I totally LOVE! I'm so happy I could almost wear it out into the 90 degree, humid as hell day. Almost. It's lovely to feel and wear and it's the first thing I've knitted from my own handspun. Werd to ya mutha.

Oh, it's really great! It's such an awesome combo of futuristic and homespun and it looks great on you.

That is awesome and you totally have the right attitude to pull off wear it too! I still haven't used any of my handspun yet... I can't decide...

I have spinners envy! Beautiful work.

I love your picture on the sidebar. To me, it says "I am channeling Vivian from "The Young Ones""

looks gorgeous, and the shrug ain't bad either.:) i haven't knit anything from my homespun yet. most of it doesn't come in large increments, but i have some on the wheel at this moment that i will spin a couple hundy yards. really. i will. have you tried to spin any cooler yarns, cotton or hemp or anything? know anything about it?
