Cowl knit from my first handspun

This is it, just hot from the needles, not blocked which it needs. I used all the yarn, had an inch to weave from the cast on and about half an inch after the cast off. No waste here!
What can I say - objectively it might be ugly -but being my baby I just love it and think it is wonderful! So uneven but real yarn that I was able to knit from. I think you must be a spinner to understand what I am just going through at the moment. I could just carry it around everywhere I go and look at it all the time, just like a little kid with its favourite teddy... :-)))))

My first handspun

This untidy ball is the first yarn that I have spun and plied on my spindle. I love it. It is VERY thick and thin and over- and underspun but thats what makes it so special, no? Had a rainbow in mind when I decided on the colour sequence but now it seems more like fall leaf colours to me. I am knitting this up in a cowl right now, pictures to follow soon.
