The final product!


After assessing the amount of yarn I had, I determined that I did not have enough to make a scarf, which was my original plan. Spinning yarn takes a very long time, and creating enough for a large garment would be pretty difficult for a beginner. I have so much respect for the people of the past who made all of their clothes by spinning yarn and thread.




I decided to make a neck warmer, serving the same purpose as a scarf, with less excess fabric.




This is a picture of me knitting the neck warmer. I have been knitting for a few years, but for this project I used a stitch I had never tried before, and I really like how it turned out.
And here is my final product! Unfortunately the colors are washed out in these pictures.

Obviously, the current weather does not require any such garment, but I am very excited to use my neck warmer next year in the mountains when I'm attending Appalachian!
