Yarn ball with textured neck cowl. . .
Finished product: neck cowl. Stitches / Yarn are thick and thin and inconsistent. This is for me as it is the first product made on my Schacht Lady Bug Spinning Wheel and knitted by me. I chose a stockinet stitch to show the textured fabric of the fibers. I believe this was a Corriedale Pencil RovingI have purchased last year. The color is almost the color of "Egg Nog", just in time for the Holidays!

Congratulations on your first hand-spun, hand-knit FO!!! I just love knitting with my own handspun. I think it opens up a whole new door to knitting!!! I'll look forward to seeing lots and lots more......
Looks like you are having lots of fun with your spinning wheel! What kind of wool is this? The end product looks cosy. Have just joined your site.

I like your blog--inspirational for my pathetic "knitting skills" which consist of those round knitting hoops from the craft store. It's great fun because I pretend that I'm really knitting something lovely like what you make. My yarn collection grows along with my fantasies of beautiful knits. And your video of the knitting lady is just marvelous fun. Thanks for all!
@ Marion the wool is Corriedale.
