Saturday spinning update: Monet
It seemed somehow appropriate after visiting Paris and seeing many paintings to pull out this Shetland in the colourway Monet from Turtlepurl to work on next. I’ve got 200g of this to spin up, and I’m only about 50g of … Continue reading

Saturday spinning update
It’s been another fun week of spinning stealing time away from the knitting. I wasn’t completely neglectful of the knitting because I was able to finish a scarf (see below). More on that later this week! I spun up my … Continue reading
