I had trouble this morning getting the colors right in the pictures. This is chocolate chinchilla angora overdyed with pink acid dye. The original has brown undertones which don't show in the picture. I have a gorgeous Shetland/mohair roving that turned out to be jet black, vibrant blues and salmon, but in the picture it looks brown with white patches!
It looks a little lumpy on the right because I added a 2-stitch stockinette selvedge, so it will be easier to seam onto the sweater.

These were my grandmother's. None of them work (not that I wear watches anyway) so I'm going to dismantle them and make jewelry. Except possibly the big one - it's quite lovely as is, I'm not sure I want to take it apart.
Front of the tee finished... it's kind of hard to see the shaping at the waist and sleeves because the stockinette made the whole thing want to curl in on itself.
