A little update on my Kintra sweater Doctors knit a long group I started! My daughter gave me a gold star 🌟

Finished my hand knitted jumper!
I designed it myself with a Japanese stitch motif (translated with Chat GpT!) and adapted it to a raglan oversized sweater! So so happy with it! 🙏🏽

this summer I have embarked on a wild journey…!
I sourced Shetland Moorit lambs fleece from a farm in Orkney 🏴 & am teaching myself the process of prepping wool !
skirted &scoured nearly 1kg of natural fleece ready to comb & handspin!
Love the natural colour!🤎
