Spin A Yarn for Ewe

I have much to show today. First, I decided to whip up one of Gina's new patterns. The Amanda Headband. I decided to use the December Beaches yarn that I spun from fiber she had gifted me from Sereknity in our exchange. The yarn turned out to look really great in this pattern. I really made no changes except I left off the beads.

This really isn't the best shot of the headband but it was the best I could do.

I also got my Rowan Luxury Cotton yarn on Saturday and wasted no time casting on for the Georgia Sweater. I really like how this yarn feels and works up. It is kind of interesting to me as it is 4 plies with 2 of one color and 2 of a slightly lighter color. The 2 lighter colored plies seem to be shinier so they may be the ones with the silk in them. Whatever the make up, it is SUPER soft and the color is perfect.

You can kind of see the make up of the yarn in this picture.

I really hope this will turn out well. The directions are good so far except not everything is spelled out so I am glad I am doing this after the CeCe sweater where so much was written out that I can use those suggestions on this lace pattern.
