Sweater Update
I am now well into the body of my handspun sweater. Here are pictures of the body and arm steek in progress. Next up will be the neck steek in another 5 inches. I am weaving in on the back instead of stranding. This has prevented a puckering problem.

Wow. I've done my handspun
Wow. I've done my handspun in gloves, mittens, socks and scarves, but never a sweater...Oh wait. I remember last year miles of spun dog fur for an afghan...
This is great. I'm curious: You didn't prespin all the yarn you'd need to complete the sweater...just kind of doing it as you go? Is it singles, two ply? what weight yarn?

Yes, the pattern for the diamond motif I took from Native American pottery on the Alltribes website. As for the overall sweater it is simply a drop shoulder steeked sweater that I am knitting from my gauge and measurement calculations- no actual pattern. I have to spin up some more yarn tonight to continue, so off I go!
