The Lucky Ewe's inaugural workshop, Learn To Dye 101, was held. The studio was looking pretty schmick, as they say, and some great results were achieved.

Cable ties - what’s not to love?
These house numbers have been waiting a year for installation. Guess a year must be my ‘ffs, I’ll do it myself’ threshold.

Pretty easy to figure out where some of my colour inspo comes from. I love this time of year, but really dislike the early sunsets. Cloverleaf Corriedale combed top, grown & processed in Victoria, hand dyed in Tasmania.

Slim pickings this week as the studio has once again taken over my life. Cardigan still waiting to be blocked. I found 3 projects bags with one finished sock in them & o e bag with one mitt so I decided to cast on the second one.
Comfort knitting is all I can do atm.

Almost missed it again. Cardigan is up at the house waiting to be blocked so I started a beanie for a friend. Yarn is @gorwoollenmill.bsky.social La Bella 8 ply, pattern is Dustland Cap.

Recorded yesterday, Ep 1 of the Maxine Report, which was promised a few months back. Maxine is the name some new friends gave me when I was at the Ashford retreat last Nov because they said I wasn't a 'karen'. Downloaded the new-to-me editing software & spent a few hours learning how to use it.

Ten more rows left on my extra long cuff. Cardi has bumped all other projects to the back of the queue. Button band is next, and I will be singing the button band song that I made up. Song is sung to the tune of the muffin man as sung by Adam Lambert imitating Cher.

#showmeyourknits green week. My all the greens cardigan. Yarn is Cheviot, mostly dyed by @melbournecitydye.bsky.social but the dark green cuffs dyed by me. Pattern is the classic cardigan by tin can knits. My tension is all over the place, there’s twisted stitches and mistakes everywhere. I love it

Today’s meet and greet is with Gravy. He is the middle man of the 3 Ami-goats (oh goddess, I made a goat pun). Of the 3, he is the most even tempered and laid back.

Blanket almost finished. Currently playing yarn chicken with the bind off. All other projects have been put on hold while I’m finishing this one.
This cotton is so soft and fun to work with.

WIP Wednesday- my 3 active knitting wips (there’s a few languishing in project bags) plus crochet, weaving and spinning wips. Do you keep wips in diff parts of your house and/or workspace? Level of energy also dictates level of completion.

Sincerely tempted to stay up until 1 am and finish this sleeve however I know that will only end in tears. I’ll just get up at 5am instead.

Some scenes from the recent Ag Show held in Chudleigh TAS. This lovely group of Border Leicesters were shorn as part of the shearing competition. A great day was had by all, except perhaps for the first sheep, which found itself in a slightly awkward position.

Welcome Biscuit, Gravy and Zy to The Contrary Goat Farmlet.
We’re not big enough to be a Farm and until I get the water sorted out, we can’t put sheep in the other paddock.
Zy is the largest of the 3, and he thinks he’s in charge. Biscuit is the baby at 4 months old and Gravy is the middle goat

Difficult to see the smoke wafting around the unit, however trust me when I tell you the smell of a burning motor is something you won’t forget any time soon. Brand new vacuum cleaner heading back to the Big Box hardware store for replacement.

WIP Wednesday - From September through today, I’m still plodding along on the cardigan. Another 12 rows then ribbing and then on to the sleeves. Of course I will run out of the darker green before I get to the sleeves.
