Timber tibetan-style support spindle resting on a small patterned green dish, next to an open braid of soft combed fiber in the colors of the forest- brown, deep greens and a bright spring green
Support spins take me a while, so I like to pick the special braids from my stash. This is the softest blend from @ixchelbunny.bsky.social called Tundra, with cashmere, angora, and quivut. I'm attempting to spin from the fold for the first time and it's a bit challenging right now #handspinning

For the purple theme of #showmeyourknits this week I have this little scarf/shawl in a purple handspun, knit with lacey mohair contrast. The patten is Ziggy from Leila Raven. It was a fun and fast knit. π§Ά

A partially knitted black cardigan - top down with raglan sleeves and seed stitch collar - laying on a table beside a colorful knitting bag. White thread lifelines are placed at the armpit divide just in case.
For this week's DK theme, I have a Vodka Lemonade on the needles in DK merino.
It's flying along now I've made some size and shaping decisions. (The lifelines are in case I change my mind on those!) π§Ά

First post - just getting my feet wet on the platform π
I keep stopping to admire the colors as they spin up in this stunning gothic rainbow blend from @ixchelbunny.bsky.social
It's going to be my first singles yarn so it's a heavier weight than I would usually do.
