1st August 2023

Its been a busy day at work as usual and immediately when i got home i got changed into night dress and started crafting.  I dont like having too many projects on the go so i keep it to a knit,  crochet and sewing project.  The crochet project is my granny scrap blanket that sits at the side of the bed for when i feel like working on it.  The knit project is....


It is merino handspun blended with some stalina that my grandkids did a couple of years ago.  The pattern is called Sophie Scarf, it is free on Ravelry.com and so easy and versatile.  Im making a small.version for my Granddaughter Aria.  


My sewing journal has.been put aside for a while and i decided to do some spinning on my drop spindle which is very relaxing.  

It is a alpaca and tussah silk blend which is resting now and then will spin some corriedale.  I hope to ply them together to make a fingering weight.


I forgot how much i like spinning.
