  • This is getting unwieldy & difficult to photograph progress. But I’ve only got 10 rows left of colourwork design left before the top ribbing section so I’m super excited to finish it.

  • Did some work down in the workshop this week. I’ve got the parts of my fibre blending board all cut & sanded, just waiting on some hardware in order to finish it off. My glass whorl from Glassbead in etsy & custom spindle sticks to fit from The Dancing Goats arrived too. I sanded smooth…

  • Spinning some merino on my new Mingo&Asho glasspin. I taught myself to spin supported earlier this year. I found fleegle style spinning to be the most comfortable on my support spindles as its a kind of unsupported style which accommodates short or long draw. Do you like watching my spinning videos? Should I do more…

  • Marathon session with lots of accidental stabbing getting all the fingers aligned & sewn. No kidding, this is a finnicky pattern!

  • I got super annoyed at how I kept putting this project off, so I finally just cleared time to sit & start stitching.

  • Aaaaaand I’m at it again. I must admit that really I’m just trying to use up a stash of silicone beads I have lying around…problem is I run out of colours that go together which prompts more bead purchases…

  • Packaging finally arrived and I have spent hours photographing all the beaded items and packing them up. There’s glass/stone/polymer clay bead stitch markers, wine charm sets, earrings, silicone bead pens/lanyards/keychains. I’ll be uploading everything into my Etsy store in batches over the next week or so.

  • Hubert would like to present a basket of yarn cakes ready for plying & the latest singles of my dyed red panda spin.

  • Miwak is now spooky season ready!

  • Decided to try to streamline these comms, so I spent a morning completing all the basic seams on the second paw set. Does anyone else think the finger tubes resemble purple cannelloni?
