Storygraph made me a collage of the books I listened to last month. It may look pretty and charming but I would recommend checking out content warnings for the Ill-Mannered Ladies. Those books are quite dark.

The Ladies were my favourite stories of last month, non the less.

I machine knit a small swatch and a large swatch. The thumb placement was too high. And the mitten is too small. This shall be a lesson. I do not have it in me to undo the seam and rehang colourwork on the machine.

I modified a #taitopirkanmaa pattern for this

I knit a beanie. Machine knit the white part and hand knit the beige part. I sew the noses, ears/eyes and the 💩. Because dogs 💩 sometimes.

The gauge being the same with both techniques was a happy coincidence.

Motif is from #stoneknits book.

My Tour de Fleece spins. One of the hanks is more tightly wound. They both have about 111 g in them (3.9 oz?), but one has ~15 meters more yarn. So quite even for me. The third hank is the excess pink thread, chain plied.

Thank you all for sharing your lovely handspun 🧶❤️

#tourdefleece first half of the spun yarn plied. This is corriedale.

One tread is spun from handdyed tops and the other is white.

I like how airy the end result is.

The drive band of my spinning wheel snapped. 2 days of #tourdefleece to go. Luckily I had purchased a spare one, when I bought extra whorls for the wheel. I bought the wheel used and thought this might happen eventually.

I took this as an opportunity to clean my wheel as well.
And on we spin 🧶

I finished this vest! #crochet granny squares and #knit edgings. The pattern is modified from #agnessweatervest by Bethany Lynne.

This was a scrap yarn project 🧶 And as you might have guessed I ran out of pink yarn at the last square 😄

I've been offline for a time as life has been busy. This is my granny square vest in the making. 3 more squares to go.

I made a second Emotional Support Chicken TM. So fun pattern by The Knitting Tree.

Who doesn't need a little emotional support nowadays, right?

I have this audiobook, but I noticed that I need also the physical one. Can recommend. 🧶🗣

Help! I'm still a bit doubting the shade of pink. I had limited possibilities to choose from. Should this shade be darker?
