a sweater for me in progress

I got fussed at, again, this week about not taking care of myself.  About always giving and not receiving.  Well, this one is for me.  I am making myself a cardigan, top down crochet.  I am spinning all the yarn I am using on the smallest drop spindle I have.  I know this is the slowest way to make yarn but it is very meditative.  I also find the drop spinning helps my spinning on the wheel.  I work on this sweater at work because I work on the sweater I am making for my Beloved at home.

I am thinking about making my own wooden buttons for this.  The yarn really deserves something that special.  Or maybe I will be able to find some hand carved horn or bone.  This sweater may really be too warm to wear here except maybe three times a year or in the office.

The process is making me smile.

Hi Elizabeyta!

I am so impressed with this creation – spinning the yarn, crocheting and even making the buttons. Bravo to you for making such a beautiful gift for yourself!
