New roving for handspinning

Gorgeous new Merino roving for hand spinning at Yarnahoy!
Yep, I'm bring back spinning fibers. Would be a shame not to (given the abundance of wool in the UK).
Feels so good to be back with fiber ! :)

Fabric buttons from my scraps.

Below are images of beautiful fabric buttons made by the talented Etsy artist creamrose.
Check out her shop!

Feel like Silk?

Sock from the Anastasia pattern on Peachy Knits

Check these socks out on Peachy Knits! They're gorgeous!

The author knitted them using the Anastasia Pattern from my "Old Earth" colorway purchased from Yarnahoy.



Below is an image of the colorway.

Mission - Hand spun raglan sweater

I'm too lazy & possibly too incompetant to knit myself a sweater like the white one below. However, i've hopefully spun myself a 2 ply yarn from the roving pictured below in the hope that I might find a super sweater knitting do-gooder to knit me a sweater that fits like this sweater - in the United States.
I also found a flexible pattern online at http://www.woolworks.org/patterns/raglan.html
I'd be happy to pay (email me at mayacrafts@gmail.com & we'll talk) or swap yarn from my Etsy shop or do both.
Any takers? :)

Anyone know where I can find a similar pattern for a raglan sweater?
