Happy Friday! I would say that it took long enough getting here, but it was a short week. However, I have felt confused on what day it is all week long! Tuesday felt like Monday, etc. But, today is Friday and that means I am joining Rachel for Fiber Friday.
I have been faithful to spinning on my Jenkins Turkish Spindle when I am outside with Sherman. I am happy to report that I am more than half way through the bump! The fiber is Cormo from Sheepspot Breed Club in the December in Ontario colorway. This was a good choice for me to drop spindle as it is so easy to spin! My spindling has improved as well!
I have not been spinning much this week on my Matchless, as I have been trying to get some knitting projects done instead, however I have so little of the Shetland to finish I will just sit down and get it done this weekend! (Perhaps while watching Shetland that I just picked up from the library!) We have rain in the forecast for the weekend so that might just work perfectly!
On a quick side note, my garden is going mad! There are peppers growing on the pepper plants, we have one tomatillo started, and (while there is not a picture) the potatoes are growing! My roses are crazy with blooms and buds right now too, as are my raspberries! It is a very happy time in the garden!
As usual, I have a few links for you today…
- Joji’s Golden Sand is the kick off pattern for Sight is Life – proceeds go to the Sight is Life Project.
- Ever wonder what to do with those Fiddly Bits of left over yarn?
- Beata is back with some Shockwaves
- Does your wardrobe need a color-block cardigan? Well, this one is free through Sunday!
- Laura Aylor’s Fog in August is really lovely.
- Want to practice a bit of Fair Isle? These might be perfect!
- Frangipani, oh my!
- The perfect baby sweater (no sleeves!)
Have a fantastic weekend, see you all back here on Monday!
P.S. Thanks for sharing all the books you did not like, I now have an awesome list to choose from!
Your garden is amazing! What beautiful roses! Love the colors of your wool – so fresh and summery!
Oh such lovely roses! I miss having roses. Your spinning is beautiful and I need to get better at using mine – thank you so much for the inspiration!
Because I had Tuesday off I never could remember what day of the week it was…but TGIF! I have a wheel and a bunch of fiber, but no inclination. How wonderful to have so many roses.
June really is bustin’ out all over in your garden beautifully! And thanks for the Shetland idea. I’ve been searching for a way to watch, but hadn’t thought about the library. Now Seasons 1 and 2 should be on hold for me next week. Happy Spinning!
We loved Shetland!! Your garden looks amazing!
Photo collage is lovely…brightens up another.grey. day! Enjoy the weekend!
Cheers~
Love your garden and spinning photos. I have blossoms on my cucumber plant and that makes me very happy!
