My knitting companion: Poirot
I’ve been knitting so much this last week that I haven’t spent any time at all with my spinning wheel. Hopefully that’ll change soon. I’ve been working on a deadline knit and I finally cast off last night. What’s been keeping … Continue reading

It’s Sunday and I’ve got no spinning at all to share with you because my back has been acting up this week. For now spinning is out. I hope to get back to it soon. I just realized that I haven’t … Continue reading
End of year spinning & knitting

Slow progress
I’m finding it hard at the moment to make deliberate progress on any knitting. My mind feels all scattered and I’m working on bits and pieces of designs for a few upcoming projects. Nothing has really coalesced. I did manage … Continue reading
Slow knitting
