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.

DIY MT

Finally finished the one my mum asked me to make for her friends daughter. Good job as she birthed her new son last week so just in time !

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 :)
