Finished handspun shawl. This ended up being washed/blocked multiple times because unknown to me one of the black welsh skeins still had dirt in it, which distributed dirt throughout the shawl when initially washed. There’s still some light staining in parts of the marled yarn, but it’s much much better than before.

Shawl is now finished and being blocked. Looking at it all finished I realised my yarn choices have accidentally recreated old tv static blips in shawl form 🤣

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.

There is sooo much concentration happening as I learn how to do wrap & turn short rows. You can see already how the short rows are forcing the piece into more of a triangle shape; the pumpkin marker is the middle where the short rows started.

I found a new ‘local’ supplier of some silicone beading supplies & consequently I kinda went wild. 😅 Hubby is gonna help me take shop photos then I’ll throw all of these up in my Etsy.

Decided to make myself up some little project bags. This’ll be the first time I’ve used foam stabiliser wadding, which is exciting.

I learnt that if I have lots of spare time I can sew up a single pair of pants in 2 days! 😲 Grey pair is garbedine (to replace a pair that was damaged) & red plaid is pure wool weave. I’m gonna be toasty this winter!

Some bags I made for friends & colleagues.

48 pieces of a faux mohair/real mohair truffle themed personal teddy bear. This all took about 5 solid hours to mark, cut, and prep.

Started working on the dakotaraptor plush. There is literally fuzz everywhere!
