Weekend in the Dales

Hello, friends, hello!

Phew, is it Tuesday already?  I’m still in a happy, yarn-fume induced haze from the amazingness that was Yarndale.

In fact, it was just about the perfect weekend.

Saturday, nap time.
While I dither over my next sweater cast on, I’ve started the Laulu kerchief by @sari_n_ . Knit in @woollenflower Masgot Fine and Whorl that’s been sat waiting in stash too long … I love how it catches the light 🧡
Saw 2022 in while casting off this beauty which felt miraculous because 1) I made it to midnight 2) it’s been on the needles ages and 3) I won at yarn chicken on the first go! Taking it all as a good omen for crafting in 2022 ✨
A Christmas Pig! 🎄🐷
After a, it has to be said, rather ill-fated walk with my poorly girl to see if we could find any winter sun (we couldn’t, though we did find mushrooms, birdies and interesting bark), looking forward to lighting the candles and getting cozy for the rest of the shortest day. We’ve already read this beautiful book (from @daughterofashepherd ) three times this morning, and I imagine they’ll be a few more readings post nap. Til then, I’m going work on the second arm of Oliver Pig , this year’s @susanbanderson toy for W … I think this might be the first year that I’m not still up in the wee hours of Christmas Eve finishing a toy!
Totally in love with these woven star ornaments made using @the.weekendquilter ‘s tutorial. I think I’ve made 15 (most have already been gifted) and the only reason I won’t be making more is I’m out of festive fabric! There’s something really calming about all the pressing and folding. I was really happy to have my wool pressing mat and tiny iron for this project ✨
