WIP

POP blanket by Tin Can Knits out of my handspun.

Korrigan cardigan by Solenn Couix-Loarer out of Rowan Baby Merino Silk DK

Future plans
I caked up my A Homespun House Bakken in the Dewdrop colourway. Still unsure whether to knit a garment or a shawl out of it. I am considering the Succulent Shawl by Maria Montzka.

5. A BIT OF SPINNING (54:00)

I spun my first singles yarn. Fibre was from Sara’s Texture Crafts Colour Club inspired by Impressionist Painters, and is called Sunset at Dusk.

I do a quick review of the new Craftsy Class, Spinning Stupendous Singles by Amy King.

I received a lovely birthday gift from Sylvie and a wonderful package from Nimpin.
