In which I have much wool.

Today has been amazingly fun. Which is weird. Because I think I started the day out cranky. I have sewn buttons (from The Sitting Tree) onto a cardigan, knit, spun, washed wool, went for a walk, froliced in a field, possible found wild mullein, collapsed in a heap.

Reading: Sheepish. I've jumped on the bandwagon, indeed. Knitting: a doll's dress.

Finished: Shalom in merino and possum (with much modification - Ravelry notes here).


Today: Spinning and twist-setting!


Later in my Etsy shop: handspun, hand dyed yarn!

Me: tired. Short sentences preferred. Linking up with Ginny's Yarn Along.

  2. Your Shalom is GORGEOUS! I love it! The colours are so warm and the sleeves are perfect. I plan to add sleeves to the next one I knit too. And a different coloured yoke. (My first one turne out boring.)

    To field frolicking...
