Spouse popped into A Darn Good Yarn to pick up yarn I need to finish a project, and they gave him one of their Trevithick Day freebies - cute stitch markers, a "handmade with love" label, and a yarn needle.

They're the sweetest, friendliest local yarn store folk we've met down this way and we love supporting them.

I'm hoping I'll get to have a peek at their rainbow wall while I'm here, which has 116 shades of one of their DK yarns!

"I think I'll knit for a bit to try to relax."

Oops. 🤦

At least it's a smallish yarn barf!

Blurred selfie; no eye contact.

Sweater Vest progress: It's a bit big but I love it!

Collar and cuffs to go. I want to get started on them now but I have a headache, so it's best to wait.

I'm just going to wear it like this this evening 😆 It's cosy!

In better crochet news, I've made excellent progress on my shawl!

I've just got the band along the edge to complete, but I haven't the yarn for that right now. It's on hold for me at my new favourite yarn shop in Cornwall, so it won't be long until I can finish it.

This is Finola by Aoibhe Ni in YarnArt Bouquet cotton.

I'm most definitely in love with this project!

Taking a break from knitting to work on a crochet gift - it's squishy and soft and gorgeous!

For the first time in for-ages, I'm knitting!

This is going to be one of a pair of hand warmers for my niece, who fell in love with this fiery orange sock yarn when we went for a look around the gorgeous new yarn store in Camborne - A Darn Good Yarn.

The wool was hand dyed by The Yarny Octopus, and is being sold to raise money for The MS Society.

It's lovely to work with, and I'm sort of wishing I'd picked up a second skein!
