A little look at a new yarn base that I'll be bringing to The Sodbury Yarn Over this weekend.

Bluefaced Leicester chunky is so deliciously soft and squishy it has to be felt to be truly appreciated. It'll be available online as soon after the show as I can manage! #HandDyedYarn

Also, it poked its tongue out at me.

I don't know who was more surprised. I just got home, opened the gate, and...fox!

It then tried going back to sleep but I had to get by which scared it off, even though I tried bribing it with food to just move over to another bit of garden.

You may have seen that I broke a single interchangeable Chiaogoo and cable a couple of weeks ago.

The replacement arrived today, and I got the whole set.

I'm hoping the shorter needles mean less stress on the joints while sock knitting.

I'm redyeing the 2024 Yarn 🧶 Advent colourways! Orders are only open until the end of the month, and I'll be getting everything dyed up during the first week of February.

Take a look at the colours available at www.bluebellyarns.co.uk/product/2024...

Oh nooooo! Not what I wanted to find.

To be fair I think these are the first Chiaogoos I've broken and they're the 2.25mm ones which get shoved frequently in a bag. Snapped right at the thread and it's stuck in the cable, so I'll need new needles plus new cable. Very frustrating, but my own fault.

I was meant to be going to the Winchester Christmas market with a friend today, but we called it off yesterday due to the weather (now they've announced it's closed anyway).

So today is a quiet day of crafting, tidying & maybe baking. Hopefully I'll get a good chunk of this stitch along caught up!

I was wondering why my new tropical themed yarn wasn't very popular. Turns out I forgot to share it with anyone apart from my newsletter subscribers 🙄
