I did list mine at the beginning of the year, blithely believing I would have the willpower to push through and actually finish some. But no, I’m just finishing new and small things.

When your whelm is very much over’d, one of the very best things you can do is absolutely add to it by casting on something new …

Another #SophieScarf to add to the collection… but this time it’s striped. But you can see that.

Something is finally finished … just needs ends sewing in and a block …

Anyone else always be knitting but never be finishing?!

These have been sitting half finished (I’d almost got to second sock/heel) for a good 9 months and I really really wanted to finish them as I knew they’d look great with aforementioned NEW SOCK BANDS (have you seen them?)

So my NEW SOCK BANDS (see previous post!) were modelled on my latest FO! Finally I’ve finished my stripy socks …

AND HERE’S THE NEWish STUFF that’s being launched this weekend at @eastangliayarnfestival (and online next week)

Think very posh socks that deserve an extra special band in a minimalist letterpress style on a heavyweight kraft card …

Available as singles

My sister and I got a six week pottery workshop for Christmas… and last night was lesson one. It appears that I have Hot Hands and Shirley juggles with clay balls … we absolutely LOVED it and can’t wait for next week at @phoenixpotteryandartstudio

Something new coming to #EastAngliaYarnFestival … any guesses?

Hopefully it says it all up there … @unravelfestival, fellow vendors, friends and customers: thank you!

Also shown, my two show purchases: a hat (it will be) from the glorious Jules @woollenflower and how could I resist a @hideandhammer project bag from the super talented and equally lovely Nu.

Brown paper bag with close up of black inked rubber stamp prints. Centre says TillyFlop and it’s surrounded by a gingham stamped pattern

Happiness is a new rubber stamp.

Unfortunately I do not have the time nor the wherewithal to stamp the many paper bags coming to #Unravel with me this weekend.

But that said, the joy!!

I wanted to see this after being at Unravel this weekend but the Picture Gallery isn’t open on Mondays … so another trip will be arranged as it looks way too good to miss!
