Pretties! + update

I have yet more pretties lol made the most of my coupon code right up to the last second lol
Go check out Fondant Fibre guys!
Fibre:
Superwash merino 100g in desert night, I love these colours so much and it's in my first braid which looks very pretty :)
Shetland 100g in tapestry, similar to desert night colours but muted, got this one to try shetland for the first time.
Yarn:
Superwash BFL 4ply in look for the silver lining, same as previous order so I have 200g total for a larger project :) love these colours :)
Superwash polwarth in chasing stars, I got a sample of this and liked it and ummed and ahhed about whether to buy more blue yarn and then before I knew it, it had jumped into my cart lol
Also got a project bag to used for fibre and spinning, while spinning in one project bag I can prep the next fibre into nests and leave it in here so I swap bags for spinning. It's a very girly pink daisy print but it's nice and only needed one so didn't wanna buy the twin set of chicks even though I really wanted the chick print.
My mini samples this time were some mixed finn and silk (in foresty) which I've never used and approx 20g silk hankie (in swim with dolphins) to try, may knit straight from this. Love the colours and look forward to trying them :) Fondant Fibre are having a silk hankie along on ravelry if anyone is interested, spinning or knitting.
I've also joined the Jazz Club, but my friend paid for it as a birthday gift (a little early as not till December but ahh well lol), the club runs for 3 months starting in September and the fibres are all silk blended luxury yumminesses...In the last month you get an exclusive project bag and you'll get samples to try and play with in each shipment, I'm excited! Nervous to spin with silk as it's so nice so thinking I may save these till I've tried spinning a few more, I have time lol nearly finished the corriedale and will probably go for a merino again next lol
I've been knitting on the hitchhiker and hoping to finish it this month so it can be included in the Bakery Bears getting ahead of the game KAL, but will see how I go. I'm also working on the two at a time toe up socks, slowly but surely lol they are a serious investment for a slow knitter like myself lol I've also cast on a second octopus in blue shades :) the double DK on 4mm is killer on my wrists but it'll look nice when it's finished :) My mum now wants one too lol though think I may just do DK and save myself a little lol
Hope you're all enjoying your summer.
Happy Crafting!
