Speaking of Braiding. Here’s a new one I’m currently working on just in time for hunting season.  I call it Camo.

UPDATE: as of 9am this morning this leash has already been sold.   If anyone wants one like it let me know.

Other than that I’ve started my first ever sweater project!  Well Sweater Vest anyway.   The yarn is hand spun by Seven Spirits Farm from our boy CoHo.  I’ve always wanted a sweater out of him so now is my chance.  I’m thinking it’ll be another year before I finish it.

Well here’s photos of how far I’ve gotten and what my finish product hopes to look like.
