The sign on the back says Songsan, never heard of them. Apparently this model is called Dolphin and itโ€™s a hybrid.

A person is lying on a hospital bed only showing the right forearm resting on their chest. There are acupuncture needles in their arm.

Seriously hoping the pain (not induced by acupuncture needles ๐Ÿ˜‰) in my forearm would go away, itโ€™s interfering with my crafting.

Thanks to the Lovey-Dovey test knit scarf I made for @dominiquetrad.bsky.social I was kept toasty warm on top of the Great Wall earlier today where the top temperature was 4C ๐Ÿ’œ

This is an EV (green plate) spotted outside a hotel in Beijing. I wouldnโ€™t mind having one, just sayinโ€™ ๐Ÿ™ƒ

On a wooden table there is a piece of knitting on circular needles with blue and grey yarn in the foreground, behind it itโ€™s a small white teapot and cup.

Waiting at the airport = spinning ๐Ÿ™ƒ

This medium sized spindle is my favourite for all purpose spinning, and itโ€™s the perfect size for bringing on trips. It is called Persian in my shop.

I must have, there was no notes on my Ravelry project page only that I used 2mm hook instead of 1.75mm called for in the pattern. The handspun is about fingering weight.
