Brocade Baby Sweater

Here is the progress on the brocade baby sweater. The pattern is simple and easy to do when watching a movie. It was designed to be knit out of Merino but that would be useless in Mississippi so I am using a cotton yarn in the same guage. I may make the sleeve cuffs a little looser to make up for the reduced elasticity. The color is a dark brown/red color. I have already made a sweater for my self out of it and it washes up pretty well.

On the baby front I have to go in for my glucose test this week. I am not looking forward to it unfortunatly. I can test my blood sugar at home anytime I want, myDH is a diabetic. So I am not sure what good it will do to have me sit around in the doctors office for an hour letting other people poke me.

I am still enjoying my new spinning wheel and have started working with a new roving that I bought awhile ago in Michigan. It has a pretty long staple and I am haveing a hard time spinning it really fine. I don't want to only make 2 ply worsted for the rest of my life!
