Baby Surprise Jacket « »
Since I’m so obsessed with this pattern, I can’t wait until my Spincyle yarn arrives. I’ll make another one when it does…but for now I found something I can cast on with right away.
It’s some as yet unidentified (I need to look back though my notebook to find the label) handspun in very New Mexico colors: pink, tangerine, purple, and light turquoise blue. I bought it last summer in Minneapolis, washed it because it was too ‘raw’ for me, and accidentally felted it. So now I’m untangling it and un-dredding it. It’s not nearly as bad as I thought it was, but it IS pretty matted in places.
I have all the hanks wound into balls and am ready to cast on.

Great yarn, but really look at your view… how great is that!!! That really looks like NM, I’m jealous!!
you’re starting to inspire me. There’s so many possible color patterns with that jacket! I wonder what I have in my stash…
But — I think I’ve gotta make the Nursing Sweater I just bought some yarn for, its in this book: Natural Knits
for Babies and Moms (http://www.interweave.com/knit/books/natural_knits/)
Well. to be honest. That’s the view at the house we’re sitting. OUR view is awful. Especially in the back. Chain link fence, LOTS of cement.
Ooh…I have to check out Natural Knits!!
