Back to my usual crafty non-sense

Our travels are over for a few weeks, next trip will be dependent on both covid and fuel supplies but hopefully a last look at the sea for this year. We have been chatting about next years plans but still hesitant to make any firm plans yet.

So its back to my regular weekly Crafty updates for now.

Firstly, travelling in a van means that I can Shop, preferably in charity/thrift shops, for bargains and this last trip was no exception. Ignoring the pile of Dr Who DVDs purchased I still found a bargain or two for myself.

This will probably be passed on to any new lace maker that I may meet, Bargain at £1.50 and I will probably bundle it up with a pillow and practice bobbins. I've recently joined U3A and a number of stitchers have asked about lace making so this will come in handy.

Very much a curiosity purchase, again £1.50, it may get passed on.


New bedtime/coffee time reading  :-)

I've added a few more stitches to the big red thing, I'm still really enjoying working on this one.


Sorry that I didn't iron it, will try and remember next time and speaking of Cross Stitch, I picked up a kit in a charity shop and a book of historic cross stitch patterns from Germany and Austria on Facebook.


On the spinning front I have spun 100gm ish of Jacob and its waiting to be washed. This is the fleece from the inner city farm.



I've even started some more knitting, this time its a Tam but I've never tried this pattern before. Its a basic Tam type hat with trad fair isle patterns inserted but I'm not sure about the crown design yet so its on the back burner for a day or so.


Handspun brown Shetland and handspun Texel.

That's about it for now, speak again next week, take care xx
