  • I’m trying to do a little stash busting & managed to spend 2 days cutting. Left side we have large & small octogon bags, right top are quilted cylinder bags, bottom right are knitting dpn cosies, middle is a large book pocket, oven mit, & a tiny vest.

  • Completed measuring and skeining all the spins from the last few months. There are hundreds of yards/meters of yarn here. My absolute favourite is merino/alpaca/camel/silk blend as it’s like touching a cloud.

  • Completed project bags! These came out super cute & I’m planning to make the other sizes using the shramp fabric so I have an adorable set.

  • Finally completed Miwaks skull hat! My aim was to make it as light as possible, & given the materials used I think that 0.5g is pretty darn good! Just have to do a few last edits on the head and suit, & then the big reveal!

  • 3 days of work and everything has been pulled off the spindles & prepped for plying. The yellow is still a singles ball as that’s my Easter Show competition spin waiting for the red alpaca to finish resting.

  • Some progress on the quilted craft bags. The shramp one is so delightful I now want to make more.

  • After a lot of time consuming and brain taxing projects I needed something simple to do. I love how diamond paints come alive as you add the sparkly beads.

  • Completed American songbirds cross stitch kit. This is a dimensions standard collection kit & it took approximately 130 hours to complete.

  • Base airbrushing is completed. Next step is to handbrush in some select dark details, perhaps hit some specific highlights with the airbrush, and put in the felt liner.

  • All but 3 of my regular working spindles are full, & I don’t have any more storage space to keep going. So every one now has to be pulled off & processed into skeins.
