  • Aaaaand I’m at it again, double knitting yet another @HandHuntKnits cowl. This time it’s the mammoth cowl and I’m trying to be super neat about it as I want to enter it into the 2024 Royal Easter Show.

  • Finally cleared off my craft desk of full spindles, and holy heck! I am doomed to some serious plying hell because I filled up a lot of spindles…and this isn’t even all the spindles I own now…

  • Last part of the collab with @urboros is coming along nicely. The stretch gloves are completed and the thumb/index/middle feature conductive thread so you can still use your phone whilst wearing. The claws were sanded & their sew holes were drilled, making them now ready for paint.

  • More progress on the pet portrait windstone pyo. I’m planning to highlight some scales after antiquing to really make those metallic blended sections pop.

  • Started up a shawl using the black welsh & white scandi handspun yarns from last year. Again, I’m having to teach myself a bunch of new knitting stitches.

  • Thought I’d share the very first spin I did on my new Daedalus wheel earlier this year. This fibre (called Tropical Paradise, which didn’t give me tropical vibes at all) I used as tribute to dial in my preferred settings for singles and plying. Thus the resulting yarn is very over spun, over plyed, and…

  • Last part of the collab is the bird gloves. I’ve made a set of claws from apoxie sculpt which will be painted to match the skull being made by @urboros. I’ve also modified my personal glove pattern so it’ll fit the average person (rather than abnormally tiny, stubby handed me) with some help from my…

  • WIP of a pet portrait I’m working on a windstones rock dragon pyo. The dragon has all its base colours/gradients & the rock has been based on painted and antiqued. The plan now is to layer on some iridescent purples/turquoise/greens before antiquing using darker versions of the base colours.

  • I recently made this adorable little doll scarf for someone in my ooak doll collectors community using some of my 2023 WOW christmas advent spins. This scarf used 5 different advent blends & has a total of 14 different fibre types! How cute is it! I am open to making more doll garments like this…

  • Moffy is super difficult to photograph! The mask (so far) features an iridescent paint job, moveable ear tufts, moving jaw, and orange glow eyes. This mask isn’t finished yet. I am planning to add a fur hood with included rooster feathers, but that’s going to have to wait until I have more money for materials.
