These are a few of the sweaters I've made. Many of the colors have been obtained using natural dyes.
Singles blend for The Next Sweater, colors influenced by a smoke bush in the fall. Each skein is a blend of white (tussah), black (alpaca), red (cochineal), yellow (weld) and blue (indigo).
Blue Moon Sweater, being grafted back together after a modification and showing the center front steek stitches. Yarns dyed with indigo, onion skins, black walnut and iron. Started December 2009, a month with a blue moon.
Cotton Raglan - Top Down and Bottom Up - showing the lace border which was grafted on. This enabled me to get the lace I wanted while still working the sweater from the top. It has 3/4 sleeves with a broken rib neckline and cuff.

^Color samples accompanying my water discussion.
^All in a week's work. Red! from JCC Folk School 2009.
Value scale completed at MAFA 2009 - should have been darker on the dark end and lighter on the light end; the gradations were a bit too subtle.

Yo-Yo Vest
The Yo-Yo Vest was inspired by the fabric yo-yo's that are sometimes table covers or bedspreads. It is made from hand-spun, hand-dyed merino/silk blend.
