That’s the way of it

I had set this morning aside f or stash recording. The plan was to log all my skeins and balls, and to ensure that I had photos of everything. I was going to bring my Ravelry stash up to date and write my Stash Record page for WOOL|gathered. What happened? We woke to a dull …

The postman came…

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?
