Joseph's Coat
This is about 2 bobbins full. I'm still well short of finishing off my 8 ozs and I'm guessing I've got about 1000 yds after merino "sproing" from washing. I think I'll finish up at about 1500 yds. It's coming out about fingering weight so I'll welcome any ideas or suggestions.

Oh Man!!! I'm knitting with some of Lisa's merino that I handspun right now. I have got to get more!!! Your's is just beautiful!
Wow, looks great. You got a finer yarn than I did out of the 8 ounces, I got 2 4-oz hanks of Wild Things that were about 350 yards each, after sproing. You could make one heck of a square shawl, or one of those classy Martin Storey things that was written for Jaeger Matchmaker 4 ply.
Oh my, that is gorgeous! I love it more than mine -prolly cause yours is so evenly spun! LisaK just mentioned the Landscape shawl and that is one of my all time favorites - only takes about 1000 yards, though. Lovely!
I think Landscape would be a great idea, or maybe a one button-type sweater that would make beautiful use of a Sheila Ernst button? :-) Lovely, lovely work!
Beautiful colors! Wow!
Oooooohhhh, aaaahhhhhh! Gorgeous stuff! You could just keep it as a decoration... if you knit it you won't have it anymore.
But then how could I buy more from Lisa?
