photo by Scott SchumanWe both wrangle wool ;) ...So I guess that makes us simpatico.
At my age though, I keep to the sort of wool wrangling that doesn't involve wearing a crash helmet.
Just finished knitting "Vestpa." Designed by my talented friend Samantha, to be published very soon at Knitquest and Ravelry. The construction of this vest involves a provisional cast-on so that the ribbing is knit from the body downward and all edges are uniform in bind-off. Just a terrific pattern. I love that she always includes a unique detail or technique in each of her desgins. The yarn I used is Prism Symphony in colorway "Moss": 80% merino 10% cashmere 10% nylon.
P.S. I'll be bringing this to wear at Knot Hysteria, hosted by the depravedDyer and the Yarn Harlot this weekend at Port Ludlow. Samantha got word of this event a couple of months ago on Twitter and managed to respond quickly enough to get us in!
There's gonna be plenty of wool wranglin', spinnin', and dyein' going on this weekend--- that's fer dern sure. Yee-hah!
Can't wait.

No crash helmet. Yarn is softer. Vestpa looks great!
