Sheep Sweater
Finally finished the sheep sweater. Alpaca yarn spun by a small company and which I purchased at 2006 Stitches. Loved the blue grey color and learning the carrying of color. There was even two rows when I had to manage three colors at one time. The most memorable part of the process was getting the right fit. The sleeves are long enough for my arms!

Cable design down the front and one on each sleeve. Added a cable down each side to make it slightly larger. Yarn is superwash Brown Sheep Wool (white) which was hand dyed with Strawberry Koolaid.
Spice Rack
Several years ago I designed and built a spice rack for my kitchen. It holds 19 Spice Island jars and is the following dimensions:
5.5" H x 2.5" D and .75" W out of oak boards. The back and bottom were oak planks attached with screws and the dowels are .25"
