This little sweater was started ten years ago when I bought (or was I given?) some roving. I was just learning how to spin and I spun a nice big ball of yarn. Then in 2007, on a trip to Chicago, I started knitting Elizabeth Zimmermann's February Baby Sweater with the yarn. About two-thirds of the way in I ran out of yarn. So I bought (this time I paid) more roving which sat in a basket for five years. Then over this past holiday season, I got out my spinning wheel and spun the yarn. You can see that it is a little different near the bottom. It is very much handmade and I really love it. I think I'll keep this one for a future grandchild.
