Fluff

This is the "before" picture of some Gotland fleece that I've carded using my drumcarder. It took an age to tease out the wool enough for it not to lump when going through the machine, but it is worth it. The stuff is soooo soft. I've now spun up about 600g and am halfway up knitting a jumper for my dad. As the fleece was in three different shades of grey, I kept them separate. This means knitting all the pieces at the same time to ensure the stripes match.

My works in progress list is now down to 11 and I just have to finish a bag I made for Niece Number One for her birthday in January today. Rather than knit a handle I bought some plain black plastic handbag ones and just have to sew the zip in and sew them on.
