It's Nonpareil, from my Etsy buddy Ginny, at FatCatKnits. I got the roving from her too. It's called Natalie, and I just bought the last one in the shop, heh heh. This is for Chip's friend Frank and his wife Michele who just had a baby girl. I ran out of handspun just before the last button placket, so I picked up some Cascade 220 to finish it off, then knit a little cap to go with it(not pictured).
We spent the last week at the cabin working on Chip's latest folly, The Cottage. A really really nice little guesthouse next to our cabin at the lake. I think it's going to be even nicer than the cabin!
Need to come up with a clever name for it....so far I have "The Dog House" and "The Mad House". So whenever one of is in trouble or pissed off, we have a place to go. Ha Ha
PS - I heard from one of my cousins who lives in Evansville, In. and found that my aunt and uncle who live in Mt. Carmel were on a plane to Australia when the earthquake hit. Some of my other cousins who live in Mt. Carmel were home at the time and she said it freaked them out quite a bit. Nobody hurt, and no property damage, but they have been feeling aftershocks since!
I would call it my Knitting Retreat! Can't wait to see more pictures.

The sweater is so cute! And that guest cottage is looking great. You could open a cute little yarn and spinning shop in there...
