Custom wool

An autumn gift for someone who is very kindly lending me her spinning wheel x





A custom order for wool to match a Frugi dress http://www.welovefrugi.com/girls-clothes/dresses-and-skirts/product/1662 not sure if it shows on the screen as well but it was a good match :) can't wait to see what it knits up like.

Spinning

I had an afternoon of spinning lesson today, it was lovely and I'm definately more confident in what I'm doing. I'm going to get teh jacob batt ready to go so i can get it knitted up into something for someone.
Now I really need to get my own wheel sorted as I'm sure the extended period I have had my loan one for is coming to an end. On the off chance anyone knows of an Ashford Standard going for a song please let me know :)

Our face paint colours are quite limited at the moment so we did a panda and a 'tattoo' of Marvin his favourite sheep on Edan.
