I finished my sweater. It is made from Rye, one of my ewes, who is black and fading to silver as she ages. Her fleece isn't the same color all over, which makes stripes in the finished product. It is completely handmade by me - I sheared her, washed the wool, combed it out and spun it into yarn, then designed the sweater and knitted it. I also raised Rye; she's one of my beloved twins born in 2012, I talked about them here when they were born. I raised her mother too, and her grandmother, and her great-grandmother. The sweater is going to keep me very warm this winter. It came together pretty much perfectly. What I didn't really expect is that the thing seems to be quite flattering on me; the color of it and my hair and eyes look pretty fine.
