*cackles* I managed to get 400g of ‘ice cream’ merino & milk fibre singles on my bobbin. I’m planning to measure off 3 equal lengths of singles to 3 ply with a sparkly silver thread.

Completed crochet cowl made from cormo & merino. I ended up adding additional edging details because the cast on and bind off didn’t visually match. I might do this again with different handspuns. Base pattern is by CrochetTheHighway.

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.

It’s getting there. I’m going to have to do at least 2 more repeats in addition to the pattern instructions so that the whole piece measures nicely square.

I’ve been making doll knitwear for my critter friends from my handspuns! The bobble textured & grey shawls are actually a headscarf pattern – the buttons on the edges allow them to also be worn as a headscarf/neckerchief by a human. The green infinity scarf I just free-handed. 🐐 Rupert 🐰 Freyja 🐴 Idris Dolls…

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 🤣

I finally measured all the skeins that I completed over the last few months during school term time. There is a lot of yardage here.

Finished red dorset horn waste wool, that was used for packing & I combed. It’s ended up a really lovely tweedy yarn 🧶

My final #TDF2024 efforts. I achieved my first thread plyed fractal and a chunky weight yarn, alongside 4 other skeins and masham singles that are now resting. I didn’t progress much on the cotton but I did learnt a lot about how to spin it. Plus, I got blackout on the TDF bingo challenge card!
