Apologies...

OK so first of all apologies that I seemed to have fallen off the face of the planet! In actual fact we made the move from UK to Arizona on 27th Sept, and it has taken me a while to get sorted out and find the time to take pictures etc! I have had very little time to knit or do anything that could be classed as "me time" (inevitable I think with so much going on), but I do have a few things to show you...

Firstly I have started spinning my BFL in "Embers" colorway from Yarn Yard. *Remember I am a new spinner!!* Because I am a newbie it is slubby, but I am really pleased with the results, and the colors are gorgeous! I am not sure what the wpi are yet.


I also received my first package from spunky fiber club, and it is just so gorgeous! Just truly, beautiful, and so shiny! It is 2 ounces of Superwash Merino Tencel in "Aspen" colourway, apparently inspired by "the Yellow Aspens, the big teal blue sky and the large mountains [with] snow caps". Can't wait for my new kit to arrive!

Spunky Club

I have just joined the Spunky Fibre club which I am very excited about! Every month we get a gorgeous smooshy package through the post of beautiful hand painted fiber. I know I am a newbie spinner, and in the back of my mind I am wondering if maybe it is a little premature or excessive, but then I think, if I'm gonna spin, it might as well be with beautiful fiber! Looking at the club blog and seeing the work of other club members was what clinched the deal for me. Some of those skeins are just gorgeous! The colours and fibers seem to be different each month, so there is the added benefit that you really get to try new and different types of fiber that you wouldn't necessarily have chosen yourself. Joy joy joy! Is it sad to get so excited over fibre???

Being the sucker that I am for clubs, I have also just joined the Holiday KAL/CAL. Basically from 22nd September we can count every holiday project that we get finished by 31st December. I think with us moving next week, and all of the current and future upheaval that is inevitable, I need all the help I can get to work through that ever-growing list of projects I want to get done for Christmas!
