Un-Spun Sweater

This is something a little diffferent for me. I am knitting a sweater basically from an unspun wool pencil roving from a company called Fingerlakes Woolen Mill Of course it logical they call it Un-Spun. One of the girls at knit club at our LYS literally tripped over the bag of roving on the floor. She picked it up and I absolutely loved the feminine pastels and inquired as to what it was. I thought heck, why not give it a try. The pencil roving is very fragile so it is kind of hard to keep an even tension, but the fabric is so super soft and suprisingly strong after knitted. The pattern I am using is a simple Yoke Pullover that came with the kit, knit in the round my size 10.5 Denise needles. They call the roving "cheeses", I thought that was funny.

I finished my Chevron Waistcoat vest this week. I will post a picture later in the week when I get buttons sewn on.
