Big Project Reveal
top of the big bag of yarn that arrived yesterday – yum! stapler stand cutting up sample #2 I hesitated to do the Big Project Reveal so soon but have made sufficient progress that I feel as though it is well on the way. The first two samples have turned out the way I wanted them to, #3…

herringbone diamonds needs tweaking I’m really quite pleased with the baby blanket/big project fabric.

A Little Procrastination…
wet finished Fox Fibre towels – the colour has developed nicely – from left to right – 50% green, 50% brown, and 25% green …is sometimes a good thing. Got some pressing done today and as it’s a fairly mindless task pressing is, my mind tends to wander. With the Big Project sort of dominating…
