Hi, I've been a bit busy, knitting on the bus, during lunch breaks and yesterday I put the finishing touches to this.

Traveling woman finished

I dyed the merino after it had been spun and the pattern is Traveling Woman by Liz Abinante .

  2. It's beautiful! My spinning is a little better in that I don't keep breaking it, but I seem to be making it rather chunky and uneven! I'll keep practising!

  3. What a gorgeous Travelling Woman! Bogger than mine, which I'm sure works very well - mine is really too shallow for my broad shoulders and I may have to give it to my slender daughter and do another one for me. I was wondering about doing 3 "pivots" rather than one, but maybe a bigger one would be the way to go... Well done, and what good taste you have!

  4. Looks lovely now it is finished. Tell me it a shawl and not a cover for your spinning wheel.

  5. Wow! This is very pretty. The knitting is so...delicate. I usually think of knitting as "chunky". The yarn is incredible

    I do hope you are enjoying your wheel. If only my craft room was as tidy as yours.
