Update

Knitting news!
The chunky ten stitch blanket has hardly been touched, same with the reyna shawl (but hoping that will change this week). The wasabi is on hold as on a sock binge for summer lol but it'll hopefully still be finished for my sons birthday (or christmas if I get really behind).
I've finished my 'where you lead I will follow' socks in Nicole C Mendez self striping yarn with WYS heel. These are eligible for lots of KALs, the knitting broomstick sock club and Gilmore girls (co hosted with geeky girls knit), and geeky girls knit summer time kal, bakery bears summer of socks, stripy socks kal and owl about yarn too...there may even be more lol
Spinning news!
I spun 2 braids of superfine Shetland from fondant fibre, one in the misty morning colourway and the other in isla, I then plied them together, I got 325m of a 2ply form 190g. I love the colours and though it's still thick and thin and over plied it's fairly consistent as a yarn :)
I've re waxed my wheel, long over due lol I'll give it a little break to soak in and then find my next fibre to play with :)
Goodies!
Too much temptation lol with the yarn tree and Norah George I'm drowning in stunning yarns lol as well as my recent purchase from owl about yarn lol
Happy Crafting!
