It's doneeeee! Overall very happy with how this turned out! This is my biggest piece so far by dimensions and number of bobbins and time to complete. For sure some problem spots but I love it! Happy with my decision to to the half stitch rose ground and spiders, I think they look good together! And even more improvements on the sewings!
My last pattern in the Jan Tredidgo book for now because I had to finally return it to the library after being able to renew it for like 3 months 😅 Also I don't remember the sampler number but it was one of the extensions to the large mat sampler.

I have a goal this year to spin enough yarn to knit a sweater entirely from my homespun.
I decided to use my box of hand me down grey and brown roving wool. Unknown age, but the address on the box is typewritten.

It still spins up very nicely though 😊. I'm using my (also of unknown age) Ashford wheel rather than hand spinning to speed the process along.

First 235ish yards down, about a thousand to go lol

This was so much fun to make!!! I thought that the purl edges and bars were going to be annoying, but I actually loved doing them! The purl bar filling was probably my favorite part to do. I got so much practice sewing with them too 😅 I am doing much better with crossing the coarse threads between petals. It was helpful making this pattern at this size to get practice with some of those things I have been struggling with! I'm hoping to be able to get some smaller thread soon though to make these at the intended size in the book.

A little vintage-inspired hat I knit a while back as a gift for my mom.
Happy to say it’s getting lots of use out in the (very) cold weather we’ve had of late!
