Last year I bought bunches of wool sock yarn and a supply of lovely wool-mohair blend called Lamb's Pride worsted. I will need to hand wash thse projects, but it will be worth it.
First project is a cozy vest in garter stitch. It was knit seamlessly with 3-needle bind-off at the shoulders. I had the white frog closures in my sewing box, recycled from an older item.
The rest of the yarn I decided to turn into a shawl. I have made many smaller projects with this simple lace pattern and the pattern looks just as pretty with bigger needles and heavy yarn. There were some places where I miscounted and a stitch was out of place. I decided a flower would cover the flaw nicely, so I used my small flower loom.
When winter hits hard, wool is the best for warm clothing.
