Aran, in progress

[iamshadow]

The design is Gail's Red Aran from the Twisted Sisters Knit Sweaters book.

The yarn is completely handspun by us, mostly Emma, but a little bit of mine in there, too. The colour is the natural colour of the fleece, no dyes. Just a little wool wash to get the worst of the mud, sheep poo and lanolin out.

Also, I finished my Double Vision blanket, which I originally posted pics of in this post two years ago.

Ooh, those are gorgeous! I love the colors in that blanket! Is the pattern available?

The colour design is by Woolly Thoughts, and it's a paid pattern if you buy theirs. However, I came up with completely my own design for the squares. The way I did it, they're knitted in a modular way, from the outside in, rather than being knitted separately and then seamed together. I put the details of the way I did it in my original post HERE. If you scroll down and look at the comments, I put the directions for a square there.
