Konversation unlängst bei einem Stricktreffen, ich mit meiner Handspindel (wie so oft in letzter Zeit 😎 ):

Spricht mich einer vom Nebentisch an:
„Sorry, wir sind neugierig und wollten fragen, was das eigentlich ist…?!“

Die ganze Runde im Chor: „Eine Handspindel!“
Ich: „Sozusagen die Vorstufe zum Stricken.“
Kollegin: „Sie spinnt!“
Ich: „Also wortwörtlich!“

😊

I got a few rows of knitting done today too 🥰
I've been spending the majority of my day studying fermentation in multiple areas to help support gut-health and hopefully finding a few beverages that is better than soda for the weekends. Also been researching seitan and tofu recipies in the hopes of finding a protein source kiddo can eat since meat only works in jerky-form r.n. (kiddo's ARFID).
Bit at the end of the day, I got to sit down with a nice cup of coffee and an audiobook while knitting 🥰
I will very soon have to start spindling again. The brown åsenwool needs refilling. The white leicester will last the entire pattern thankfully 🥰

I baked bread and made a big batch of food so I don't have to worry bout lunch tomorrow. Then I wanted to knit but the cat had stolen my knitting 😅 I finally got it back when I fed the cats around 9pm. So I have managed a few rows today at least 🤣

After a day of cooking and cleaning and helping out a neighbor, I am finally sat on the couch knitting after a warm comfortable dinner.
Progress is rather slow for being me but I am actively taking my time. Slowing down the process to really enjoy the feel of my yarn becoming this sweater. 🥰

I can finally knit a sweater with my own yarn 🥰 Finished my scarf yesterday and after having cooked and dealing with laundry most of the day I finally sat down during the evening and started.

Pattern from DropsDesign 'Ashbury Park'
And the yarns are made from åsenwool (brown) and leicester (white)

My scarf is growing steadily. I'm about 60% done and I am getting a little worried about blocking this thing when it's done. It stretches about 1/3 of it's length as it is now. Which indicated it's gonna stretch even more in wet condition 😅 I wonder how many laps around my neck it will reach 🤣

Planning my next project - I had 3 different yarns in mind with general ideas what to turn them into, but so far not really decided on the pattern.

When shuffling through the boxes of handspun yarn I found some 3ply dyed on a grey base yarn - 2 skeins, in total about 800 m

I picked https://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/s11175-loucinda-shirt - but it's going to be a slipover, not a warm weather garment. And as my gauge is 22 instead of 26 sts, I work size S to get an L

Today after finishing kiddos sweater we got a package from a friend in Italy. We got lots of lovely yummies and spreads and olives. And after sampling, cooking and talking with my friend over texts, I am now sitting down to continue on with my "leaflette"-scarf while watching Netflix with kiddo.
