 * Spin to Knit Sweater!

I finished knitting sweater for my father's birthday gift!

I spun all yarn for this project from robing. It took me 3 weeks for me to spin them.
I am glad about this achivement.

I am a beginner of spinning. So, my spinning yarn is bumpy.
But I like my yarn. I like this sweater!
I hope my father likes this sewater.

This drop spindle is my treasure. This is the gift from my friend, Debb.

She is my spinning teacher. I learned lots of wonderful thing from her.
She collects tons of drop spindles. I tried all of her drop spindles.
Then I decided what drop spindle is best for me.

It's good season for spinning now.
There is a sheep farm near my house in Kobe. It's good thing for spinner!
I will keep spinning and knitting in Japan.
