it's so big! (that's what she said)

but it is!
Look at that ball of yarn! It took me one hour to hand-wind my hank of Cascade Ecological Wool last night. Ok, so maybe I'm slow, but it really did take me an hour to create the biggest ball of yarn I've ever held in my hands.

I cast on for the hemlock ring blanket and the knitting in the round on one long circular needle thing is great. It makes me feel so tricky. I was afraid that my Denise interchangeable needles wouldn't work very well, but they work just fine. I am beginning to warm up to them.
