Last of the Scottish Blackface

Several years ago I bought a couple of Scottish Blackface fleeces that turned out to be a bit too coarse and brittle for making clothing. They felted nicely, though. The last of the dyed locks surfaced when we cleaned the garage last month -- I've spun them up to be plyed with a few odds and ends of unravelled sweaters.

Also, the Churro sweater started earlier in the month is done. I've wearing it for morning walks. It will be a good pattern to follow for upcoming work -- the armholes and sleeve caps make a comfortable fit.
