This is the knitting project I've been working on over the last three weeks. It's a cowl neck and hood all rolled into one. Basically it's mindless knitting that I could pick up and put down without any counting. It kept my busy during the long car rides and some sleepless evenings. It didn't come out the way I was hoping ( it doesn't look like the picture in the book). This is my fiber challenge yarn, so at least I have something for the Sept spinning guild meeting. Here's how the fiber challenge works: in Feb we get a half pound of white fiber called roving, we have until the Sept meeting to make something out of it. I dyed the roving using a painting technique I like. I spun two bobbins of single ply yarn, and plied them together to finish the yarn. This fiber is a very soft alpaca, so I wanted to make something that I would wear next to my skin. I needed a mindless project, and here it is. I'm probably going to rip it out and make a hat or a pair of mittens after I share this weird thing with my fiber friends.
