Finally finished the impromptu b&w yarn project. This started out as just learning support spindling with random fibre & turned into a mission for pretty yarns. Skeins are 4ply worsted weight stricken white scandi, black welsh, & ‘Licorice’ (striken white scandi/black welsh) wool. These yarns are destined to become a knit triangle shawl.

Decided to start with the knitting needle cosies. I did one vanilla off the pattern, then I started to experiment by adding elastic retaining straps & adding in extra pockets.

I’m trying to do a little stash busting & managed to spend 2 days cutting. Left side we have large & small octogon bags, right top are quilted cylinder bags, bottom right are knitting dpn cosies, middle is a large book pocket, oven mit, & a tiny vest.

Conclusion of my Tour de Fleece 2023 journey. Over the 3 week period (mens race) I spun & plied a skein each of black welsh & white scandi. I finished the last single of my competition yarn & plied that. I completely finished all singles for 2 skeins of blue merino/alpaca. I filled my tahkli…

Completed measuring and skeining all the spins from the last few months. There are hundreds of yards/meters of yarn here. My absolute favourite is merino/alpaca/camel/silk blend as it’s like touching a cloud.

Progress on my double knit fossil cowl. This is honestly going to take forever as I can only comfortably do 2-3 rounds at a time, but realistically I am actually knitting 2 pieces of fabric at once! This is the bottom ribbing and the first few rows of the colourwork. Stay tuned!
-
Completed project bags! These came out super cute & I’m planning to make the other sizes using the shramp fabric so I have an adorable set.

Finally completed Miwaks skull hat! My aim was to make it as light as possible, & given the materials used I think that 0.5g is pretty darn good! Just have to do a few last edits on the head and suit, & then the big reveal!
