My first and second kono woven from Harakeke. The first has dried out, the second was woven today. They are really satisfying to make. #weaving #harakeke #raranga

So that bunch of yarn I got together a while ago became a vest. I’m really quite pleased with it. The pattern is my own and includes vertical bust darts. It’s knit in half-linen stitch with two strands held together. Includes quite a bit of handspun yarn as well.

I finally got around to blocking that skirt. I’m pleased with the solution I came up with thanks to help from friends. Looking forward to finally wearing it once dry.

A bundle of recent handspun yarn. I’m not formally doing the TdF, but I’m aiming to do a bit of spinning every day.

This lot is thicker than I usually spin. I might combine them to make a vest or something.

First day of new job selfie. A rare sight of me in makeup. 😁

Here’s hoping it goes well!

This is how youngest child is watching. 😅

I did a workshop on spinning flax today. It was my first time trying this and I had a lot of fun (and some frustration). Using a distaff was pretty cool!

It’s a lovely day today and I’m wearing Malabrigo on the school run (walk). I’m loving that it’s cool enough here to wear knits almost all the time. 😃

I found this book at the tip shop today and it is *hilarious*. Tempted to send it to a mentor of mine who wrote a book on Librarian stereotypes. 😆
Trucks are here! Getting the piano into the house is the first order of business. Everything else should be easy by comparison.
