First ever Hand spun project
I did it!
I spun, plied and knit my first ever mitten! What a wonderful experience.
The yarn is definitely not perfect by no means, but as the mitten proves, it can be used to create a warm, useful and fun colored item.
I have enough yarn left to make the thumb and then it's back to spinning. I have about half the bag of fibre left so I'm hoping I will have enough for a second mitten... but even if I don't, I'll forever be happy with this one.

Your newly spun mits are so cool! I am looking forward to seeing the second mitten.
Ahhhhhhh!! Gorgeous!! I think it looks awesome knit up - the pink and caramel are perfect together. What a keener you are! I smell a wheel in your future.
Wow that is amazing!!! I am so ashamed, I don't have nearly enough to make anything. I had better so do some more spinning. You inspire me. Are you going to go the Wheel Spinning class on Feb 25th? I am, I only hope my spinning is good enough by then to make the adventure work.
Your spinning is looking great, and the mitten turned out fabulously! I really have to learn spinning...lol.
omigosh... Keep that woman away from a weaving loom.
