RAK goodness and much other stuff in today’s post.
There was yarn.
There was fibre.
There was chocolate.

Sox Stix
A tale of customer satisfaction – of broken needles and of free replacment.
“I wrote recently of my dismay when one of my rosewood Sox Stix broke.
I thought it would be worth writing to the manufacturers, Lantern Moon to enquire whether I might purchase a single replacement needle. It took a couple of days but I did receive a reply on 29th January…”
4ply Lambswool and Silk
New stash from Kingcraig Fabrics.
This is an 850grm cone of 75% lambswool/25% silk. I am planning to knit myself a top from this, and also several pairs of fingerless mitts.
Mango Berry
Newly arrived from Copperpot on Etsy – 8ozs of Merino Fibre in “Mango Berry” blend.
This is very much for me. I previously spun a Copeprpot Merino top in Torch Island and knitted my mate a “Noro Hat”. In the recent gales I discovered what a very cosy hat that is …
…I thought I’d make myself one…
Project Spectrum
Project Spectrum is coming around again. This year the theme is Cardinal Directions and Lolly has put together a group of themes that look really very inspiring. Go read about it.
There is much there to play with, either on the fibre front or in paper play or photography. I might even write this year, as I feel the urge to pick up my pen again overwhelming me from time to time.
Where will I find the time, though?
Spinning Cake: Jubilee’s Squidgy Chocolate Squares
Another in our series of cake recipes for the cakes that we make for spinning group. This one comes from SpinningGill and is a tried and tested chocolate brownie recipe that is perhaps a little more economical to make than some others. None the less delicious, though!
Measurements are in Imperial.
