| PROJECTS WITH CORRIEDALE WOOL |
Here are some of the projects I've done with my hand spun Corriedale and
Corriedale blends. I'm not the world's best knitter. I have met some really
nice ladies in a small guild and they have given me the courage to
continue to try. Glad I did!

SHAPED PONCHO
This is the poncho I knitted for
my oldest daughter. It was
from a Cabin Fever pattern.
The yarn was a blend of all
my Corriedale ladies wool
together, all the different
shades, and some dyed wool
as well. The colors don't
show up as well as I'd have
like, but you get the idea.

the poncho and shows more

These pictures are of the Camel Bag I did from the book
"Folk Bags". I love that book! This was my first try at
knitting a pattern with colors. I really enjoyed it. All out of
my handspun and home dyed. The brown of the looped
fringe was from dyeing with black walnut.

The glass beads on the bag were
made by my oldest daughter, the glass
expert. Couldn't ask for better
matching beads!

This sweater is the warmest ever! All out of my Corriedale wool. Some I dyed with Kool Aid some with Ritz dyes,
and some natural (the yellow is from Golden Rod). It is very heavy and also very warm. As you can see it gets
cold here and this makes for a nice "grab it and run" sweater. This was my first attempt at knitting following the
gauge of the yarn and needles without using a certain pattern. Since I hand spin my own yarn it is sometimes a
challenge to spin it to the correct size a pattern calls for. I had a copy of "Knitting Without Tears", read it and
away I went! I knitted it in the round and then sewed two rows of stitching down the front, cut between the rows
and then picked up for the knitted band.
KNITTED WITH ROVING
The next series of pictures is of my projects that I knitted with roving, not yarn, and then felted. Taught a class
for our guild on this and used my natural colored bowl as the teaching aid. As you can see you are only limited
by your imagination! All projects are made with my Corriedale ladies' wool.

WARM SWEATER

TURQUOISE BOWL
For this sweater I spun the yarn and knitted it using a Lion Brand
free pattern from their web site. It is not Corriedale, but a roving I
fell in love with from a lady in Door County, Wisconsin. The roving
was dyed all different shades of purple Romney/mohair blend.
Reminds me of the old fashion mohair sweaters I had as a
teenager, however, this one is a snuggle next to the skin soft
sweater. Not like the ones we used to have. This was my first
attempt at knitting following a pattern. Turned out rather nice I
think!
