Making stuff

I made a sweater in a week. Not a totally complicated venture, and I took a few days off. But I like how it turned out. Yay for a Pony sweater!





(That's Pony showing us her binness.)

It's knit with two strands of yarn, so I had to improvise something that wouldn't make me crazy with the balls running around and the winding and the stuff. The first ball I wound up into separate balls then wound them into a two stranded center pull ball. That was too much work. So I stuck them under two MS pots I picked up at K-Mart a few years ago. Worked out just fine because the holes are glazed and didn't snag the yarn at all. I would have been afraid to use a plain terracotta pot for that reason. Not a totally original idea, but you know. I make of the do.
