Just finished my Sophorine and love it! Pattern is by Audrey Borrego, and also had options for sleeves. I made the version including bust darts, and love the fit!

I would love this! There are so few walkable options in my neighborhood, I’d love more opportunities!

Starting a second bobbin of my Cormo fleece because this batt is lighter in color. The first bobbin and current batt are also pictured.

Still on my half-assed #tourdefleece adventures as part of #stashdashers. Switched bobbins because this batt of Cormo was significantly lighter grey. Loving spinning this!

Half-assing #tourdefleece because I need to remember to be kind to my body. #spinning some hand-processed Cormo while waiting for more of it to dry in front of me. Happy to be part of the #stashdashers for the second year!

Finsihed my Relax Tee by @aimeeshermakes.bsky.social for #ASK2025MAL but can’t block it until company leaves…. Excited to wear it!

Processing this Cormo fleece is a an absolute joy!!!
Otter is trying his best to help.

I adore Cormo!!! I have 4 pounds so likely can pass some your way to try!

Picture of 4 pounds of a medium gray Cormo fleece in the box it was shipped in.

Full 4 pounds of fleece laid out on an old sheet in my yard.

The first batch of fleece sitting on a green towel clean and mostly dry.

Started processing my first full fleece yesterday, which meant laying it outside to pick out the bits not worth washing, and then scouring about 1/6th of the original 4 lbs yesterday. I’m so excited for this to dry all the way so i can spin a sample!

So excited!!!!!

Working in my Relax Tee by @aimeeshermakes.bsky.social at my parents’ place this weekend-can’t wait to get this off the needles!

I wasn’t in town yesterday, but love seeing this kind of energy in Spokane!!!

Thank you for taking the time to put this together. It’s inspirational seeing how Spokane is standing up!

Can’t resist this one! ❤️ ordered and can’t wait!!!

Oh i feel this one in my bifocal-wearing late 40s soul!!!!!

Proud of my community! I’m in another state or would be there too! ❤️

Tiny sprouts that I thought were sunflowers in my garden but i suspect are borage because of the shape of their second set of leaves, which are shaped with slightly spiky edges.

Borage from last year planted in memory of a dear one is now re-seeding everywhere. Nature is wonderful.

More blue but definitely both!

Thank you for sharing this joy with us! So happy to know that at 47 I’m just “young old”. I’ll take it!!!

This is inspiring! Thanks for sharing.

The right one goes through the rear! Both are Rs.

We grew them last year from your beans in Eastern WA, they grew great!

Amazing colorway!!!

My husband didn’t get the fall vax and got really sick last week. I also got it (third time) but a much milder case. He 100% wishes he’d listened and got the one last fall. We’re both pushing 50, and generally healthy, and the consensus is COVID still sucks!

Gray and multicolored handspun sweater in process of being knit. The sweater begins at the neckline and has been knit almost to the armpit so far.

Working on my handspun chaos sweater (a.k.a. The hibernate pullover by @aimeeshermakes.bsky.social ) and it is so much fun! I’m colorblocking sections of stripes, and it is joy inducing. This is my first contribution to #asm2025mal

It made a huge difference for me when i started last year! I hope it’s a game changer!

Definitely need to venture into the land of supported spindles sometime-your work is inspiring!

Lovely!!!
