Finally finished the solid stitching, and by golly am I glad of that. This kit has not been enjoyable at all as it ended up having 15 thread colours undersupplied that I had to replace with equivalent DMC threads. Significant sections in Q3 & 4, and all of the clouds in Q4 are composed of…

I organised my squishy mail from this week & now have to ban myself from buying roving until I’ve spun up more of my stash. My glass bowls from MingoAsho and the tulip spindle from TexasJeans also arrived, and I’m so looking forward to using them!

Parasaur paws have been cut out. I’m trying something new with minky fingers to achieve the the hadrosaur mitten foot look.

Finally using my new Lykke ball winder and swift arrived and they are gorgeous! The smell of rosewood wafting everywhere whilst winding yarn cakes is truly delightful. I wound up my first ever yarn (green, I’m calling it ‘Curly Qs’) and my variegated red/blue yarn. For some reason one of the variegated skeins snapped when…
