I've been doing a lot of knitting lately making plain raglan sweaters. Why? Because for me they are very easy and relaxing to knit. Miles and miles of stockinette stitch. I also have come to realize that plain pullovers are really what I wear most often in the fall and winter, so I needed to add some to my wardrobe. So here is the black raglan drying. Notice the terrible color quality of this picture.
And here is the green sweater drying. Now take a look to the left - you can see a bit of the black sweater -notice the really nice color quality of the black! What the hell! Why can't I get the black to look that good in the main picture?
Anyway, moving on...
I dug out this old handspun cardigan I started a few years ago and got back into it. I bought this Merino roving from The Fold a few years ago. It is a very soft almost black roving with bits of red and blue in it from Ashland Bay. You should be able to get it from any fiber shop that carries their products. In this picture the color is very accurate.
I still need to spin up the rest of the roving, even though I think I might have enough yarn spun to finish the sweater. And here...the color is way off again.
This is the wool spun up into a two-ply. Again, color is perfect in this shot. Maybe I need to get a book on taking better pictures.
