#shomeyourknits this week is all about scrappy projects. I know I've posted about this one before, but my Aquamarlin sweater is my top favourite for using up any and all scraps and leftover yarn.

12 skeins of #handspun #yarn from tour de fleece and beyond, washed and ready to go. They fill me with so much joy!

This makes me a little teary eyed. How beautiful.
Annine Wilhelmina Catharina Claussen died in 1940 and never finished this wedding ring quilt. "It has such sentimental value and I was not sure how to address its unfinished state." — Connie

This project was completed by Loose Ends finisher, Marilyn, who spent about 16 hours on it.

Got my sourdough starter up and running. Was motivated by my local bakery temporarily closing due to a fire. Can't live without good bread, now, even if it's not the most aesthetic of loaves.

I'm now halfway through my #tourdefleece spin, although I doubt the other half will be finished in the time that's left. I'm so pleased with these skeins.

Often, the creative process involves undoing your work and starting again, with new knowledge. And that's ok!

Having such a peaceful time working on my #tourdefleece2025 project. It's really warm in the west of Scotland today, with just a slight breeze. So thankful to have the day off.

This is the 4th bobbin of my big #spinning project, 2nd completed for #tourdefleece2025. On to the next colour! (2nd pic)

Three out of ten colours of my big gradient spin finished, the "bluest" of which was completed during #tdf2025. Each is approximately 100g, and the total spin will be a whole kg, making it just about my biggest project so far.

More of a tour de F1 than a tour de France start to #tourdefleece today, but i got a good amount of #spinning done!

I just knitted a little wrist warmer. Just one. Why?, you may ask. I'm trying some techniques out for a cowl pattern I'm working on, and thought a mini version like this would be excellent to see if it would work. Cute, isn't it?

This is my #tourdefleece project for 2025. Each bobbin/bundle of rolags is 100g, and will be chain plied. I'm aiming for sport(fingering weight.

Have started thinking about and planning my #TourDeFleece spinning. Have a particular project in mind that I'm quite excited about.

How about you? What's everyone else doing?

I've been experimenting a bit with natural dyes - this is indigo over a very pale yellow. The back braid is a bit lighter, on purpose. Will spin them separately and ply together.

#showmeyourknits this week is sunshine yellow. This shawl was knitted with handspun Shetland wool, and it's probably one of my most worn knits. I cannot for the life of me remember the pattern.

I went way out of my comfort zone and made a little vlog about my current knitting and spinning projects.

Thanks for watching!

Working on a Laboratory Pullover for my brother's birthday. Back and front almost done - kind of dreading the sleeves.

Washed some #wool yesterday. This is a part of my second Ryeland fleece, which you wouldn't believe is white before it's washed 😂.

Should have brought my #knitting to the dentist. He's always late. 🧶

🧶 What can one do but knit socks when feeling unwell. Uncomplicated, manageable for tired limbs, uses up scraps, and you end up with comfy socks.

Something different on my spinning wheel this morning. I'm unraveling a cotton/linen sweater that I got for £1 in a charity shop. I'm thinking the yarn can be repurposed into a summer knit of some kind.

Have spent the evening plying on my #electriceelwheel. Need to top up one of the bobbins with more singles, and then I'm good to go again. Bonus cat for good measure.

All dried and skeined up. The dark green/brown skein is one of the spins I'm most proud of ever. Although the natural Ryeland skeins are extra special since I processed the wool from scratch.
