October 2015

Spun up a fingering weight skein of yarn in a Southdown fibre, the colourway called Spaghetti Western by The Wacky Windmill.

I experimented with multi-tasking, which is to say combining two of my favourite hobbies, knitting and reading. It was actually much more manageable than I anticipated since I was just knitting in stockinette for days on a sock.

Made some progress on the Hitchhiker by Martina Behm that I was asked to make for someone. The yarn is a really nice MCN (70% Merino wool, 20% cashmere, and 10% nylon) and has a very lovely drape.

A finished object for this month is my socks that I knit with my handspun fibre and that feels pretty darn good.

The days are definitely getting darker and the days shorter.

That's it - Happy crafting! Nic ♥
