New yummies & Jacob fibre blues

Ok so I got a cheeky last order in with Owl About Yarn before her coupon code expired lol but I got 2 yarns I've been after for ages and kept putting off and an awesome new fibre colour to enjoy :)
Left: sw BFL in the lantern colourway
Middle: sparkle owl (sw merino/nylon/stellina) base in the forbidden forest colourway
Right: cuddly owl (sw merino/bamboo) base in the Dowager Dutchess colourway

I also got some cute new stitch markers with my order (including a progress keeper), and they match my fibre lol :)

I got sent a magnet and didn't know who off lol turned out to be a friend I've knit quite a bit for lol

I got some stones/crystals off my friends holiday :) I struggled identifying two of them but so pretty, they are; opal (the hardest to identify as I've never seen it like this before), tigers eye, citrine and carnelian (the oddest and pinkest carnelian I've ever seen which made me question myself as it's usually rather orange).

I got new yarn...I know but I was ordering for a test knit and seemed silly to pay postage when I could buy this gorgeous stuff and get free p+p and squishy yarn too lol I love malabrigo, so soft :)

I got close to finishing the school jumper, and panicked, it wasn't going to fit...so I made a couple small tweeks...

and it fits lol a little more snug than I'd intended but hopefully it'll do him ok :)

My mum's been buying bits for work, including loom bands, which totally made me play and make the only thing I know how, a fishtail bracelet in red and lime (my son likes those colours, not that he'd wear one lol).

I started spinning some new fibre on my wheel, and boy do I wish I hadn't...this is Jacob, it's supposed to be good for beginners (and I'm still one so thought I'd try it) but it's super sheddy and a little itchy, and boy am I regretting buying it, let alone spinning it lol 

Just doing a little I get covered in loose fibres that escape and cause not just that fibre nose irritation but fibre everywhere irritation lol needless to say when I'm finished I will nto be buying more lol I'll finish it, so I can say I spun and plied it but it will not be entering my stash again lol which is a shame coz it's ok to spin, though not the best I'll admit, and my yardage is gonna be low again, but it's the shedding that frustrates me most.

Hope you're all having fun and getting ready for the new start of term if you work in or have kids at school/college etc :)
Up next, test knit news!
Happy Crafting!
