Two books with title cover facing out resting on top a pillow side by side. The left is The Vet’s Daughter and the right Our Spoons Came From Woolworths both written by Barbara Comyns.
Based on a #Booksky recommendation I borrowed a Barbara Comyns book from the library and absolutely loved it! 📚So I was itching to get another and recognized the cover of The Vet’s Daughter…it was already on my shelf. I have a habit of buying NYRBs because they’re pretty. I’m going to read this one!

A spinning bobbin 🧵 on a Louet S17 spinning wheel 1/4 loaded with a grey with brightly speckled silk spun wool single.
A close up of the unspun fiber from the Touski Melly Knits mega batt. The fiber has a grey base with flecks of multi colored silk.

Hand holding a few locks of washed unpicked fiber in the sun with a bin of fiber and fiber brush in the background.
Thirty something in a red skirt, clogs, hand knit cream sweater and rad radishes socks looking very wind blown with shopping bags standing in front of Evanston Stitchworks shop.
Took advantage of the warm albeit windy weather to get some wool picking done outside and do a little exploring of Evanston, which included a bike shop, book shop, plant shop and of course a wonderful yarn shop 🧶

Thirty something female modeling a finished cream sweater with faux leather buttons. The pattern is Esther Jacket by Petite Knit, knit is Harrisville Designs yarn Daylight.
Esther Jacket sweater laid out on table blocking.
Sweater on knitting needles with a hand holding a cup of tea.
Basically finished sweater with the bottom ribbing being ripped out.
Finished just in time for some 78 degree weather 🤦♀️ Basically knit this twice after finding an unforgivable error after blocking the first time. Ripped it back got a nice cup of tea and started to redo it. Worth it 🧶

Pictures is a Woodland Handcrafts mushroom spindle in thuya burl, maple and walnut with some fawn colored wool on the shaft in the background is a floral Lush box with a tin of soap and bottle of body-wash.
Surprise gift 💝 that smells heavenly. Hoping this fluff will absorb some of the sent. Pampering myself with a satisfying spin on this mushroom Woodland spindle and then off to enjoy a long luxurious shower 🧼

On a wooden coffee table an Enid Ashcroft high worl support spindle in pippy yew is laying next to a lapbowl by Visount Woodworking on a pile of white fluff. Fluff is day 6 Melly Knits advent BFL and alpaca blend.
Spinning some BFL ❤️ on this beautiful Enid Ashcroft spindle, best way to fend off the Sunday scaries. 🧶🐑🧶

A cream colored ball of yarn on a textured front panel of a hand knit cardigan on knitting needles resting. In the background an ottoman with a mug and fire in a fireplace. Ravelry pattern Esther Jacket #petiteknit
A toddler sweater with one sleeve unfinished on knitting needles. The two color brioche is a bright purple as the main color with a hand painted yarn with bright speckles as the second yarn.
My current WIPs. The Esther Jacket by Petiteknit & a toddler sweater made with some of my handyed that I’m working to get off sleeve island. I think I learned my lesson, I will not try two color brioche without a pattern again. Doing it in the round has caused some major twist.🧶

Three people posing outside on a winter day wearing hand-knit sweaters. On the left and right the two people are wearing matching #porcelainsweaters made with Porcelain Sweater Solo pattern by Lene Holme Samoe in a cream and blue color. Center is a taller person wearing a dark green sweater knit using Sweater No.18 pattern by My Favorite Things.
Finished my mom’s birthday sweater just in time! My dads’s sweater was a Christmas gift that thankfully now fits after a good blocking. His sweater was a labor of love that was finished on x-mas eve and was a bit of a belly shirt pre blocking. ❤️🫶❤️hand-knit sweater gifts 🎁

Thank you, I’ll have plenty! I used to crochet a long time ago and just started knitting a few weeks ago.
It’s been a great way to stop doomscrolling and reflect 😌
I’ve finished a Sophie scarf and have started a sweater. (I’m waiting for more purple yarn & am casting on a new cardigan as I wait 🫣)
I got an unexpected little bonus so I treated myself to this gorgeous binder that I have eyeing 👀 for a while. @threadandmaple.bsky.social makes the most beautiful and useful knitting and spinning tool organizers! 🧶

A photo grid with a Suffolk sheep poking it nose through the slots of a wooden fence pictured in top left corner, sheep in a corral with sunset in the background in the top right corner, a pile of sheared fleece with a crimpy locked held in focus by and hand in the bottom left and a photo of tamarack trees against a blue sky and a green pasture in the foreground in the bottom right.
My fiber journey started just a year ago. I’d been an avid knitter and had stumbled into spinning and thought maybe the Suffolk sheep on the farm I grew up on,Tamarack Farm, were more than just market sheep. Now a lot of spindles and fiber prep tools later I don’t know why I didn’t start sooner!🐑🧶

A little knit crochet mashup collar. It’s freezing but this bright ☀️ is making all these colors pop! 🧶

Very into collars right now. This one knit up very fast in some leftover stash mohair and I am loving it. #knitsky #knitting 🧶 Anyone have any suggestions for good collar knitting patterns? I used the Neverland Collar pattern with some alterations for this one.

Enjoying some of my Christmas presents! Still slowly making my way through #mellyknits True North and figuring out how to spin long wools. Loving this Mirkwood spindle I got through destash. Is Mirkwood still making spindles?

Working on a porcelain sweater for my mom after she fell in love with mine ❤️ #knitting #porcelainsweater #colorwork
Also trying out knitting with both hands. As a continental knitter it feels so awkward holding the yarn in my right hand 😬 Any tips?
Every time I get one of his spindles I thinks it’s the best thing I’ve ever spun on, they’re so good. I really hope he starts making the gnomes again!

Woodland dragon egg spindle resting on marble table in a small pile of grey wool fiber. Melly Knits True North day 4 moose tag lays beside it.
This snow day gave me some time to get myself set up on Bluesky and get started on day 4s advent from #mellyknits! I figured I’d be slow getting this advent spun so I’m enjoying taking my time and choosing #supportspindles that suits each fiber type.
