My Transfiguration OWL is complete! I spun 1516 yards of DK weight and dyed it all up in 3 months! YAY! I'm so proud of myself! This is the most yarn I have spun in one go and most I've dyed up. The spinning isn't perfect and neither is the dyeing but I did it and I can't be more happy with how it came out! I can't WAIT to cast on the cardigan and wear my handspun, hand dyed, hand knit cardi!

| Turned into lots of yarn |

| Lots of yarn! |

| cooling after heat setting the dye |
 |
| And here it all is! All pretty and dyed up! |
 |
| LOVE IT! |
I'm so happy with it and I now don't feel so intimidated by spinning for big projects that I might just have to start another project like this because I have other cardigans that need handspun yarn! :)
It has been turned in to the House Cup group and just waiting for it to dry so I can cast on! However, probably won't cast on until after I finish these socks I'm working on for Carmen and maybe one more gift but it's going to be very hard to resist!!!
Happy Spinning and House Cup!!
