Not only have I been sticking to my Knitter's New Year resolutions, I have found all kinds of new fun things to play with!
I've recently bought a spinning wheel and I've been learning to spin my own yarn. I've also been playing around with dyeing yarn and roving, and I'm having a blast!
Here's my very first handspun yarn. Not very much yardage because it took me a bit to get the hang of spinning, but still quite pretty:
Then I moved on to hand dyeing yarn and roving. Most recently I dyed this roving:

Isn't it pretty?! Sadly there's only about 140 yards so there's not a whole lot I can knit out of it. Right now I'm trying to decide what it wants to be. The colors really would be beautiful with this pattern but I just don't have enough yardage. *sigh*
