more workshop clearout and some fleece to prep

 This is my workroom near the end of last year, today I have been sorting out some shelves, getting rid of yet more books and re-finding one or two treasures.

now looks like this, more to sort out but definitely better.

Followed this up with some fibre prep, Border Leicester cross, as I want to empty as many of the pillowslips of fleece as possible.

I'm now going to pop my feet up and watch some nonsense on catch up tv :-) As it looks like we are no longer heading to the coast for our usual dose of January fresh air, the room sort out will continue, shelf by shelf.

A frosty start

 The temperatures have plummeted this morning leaving the frost on car looking very impressive.

I ventured out to buy some fresh veg and make some lace in a favourite coffee shop

and wrapped up the trip by watching the workmen dismantle the big wheel on the Christmas fair.

new years day

 Since I'm still feeling under par, today has been a gentle day of yarn winding, Blackwork embroidery and a little knitting.

I need to venture out tomorrow but our planned trip away is on hold, partly due to me and partly due to the weather forecast of snow at the weekend.

Final spin of 2024

 Saxon Merino' dyed in the fleece by Babylonglegs, Spun over the last couple of days, washed and dried today.

I picked out the blues and greens and ended up with 50gm of this.

Its slightly darker and more peacock colour in real life. This will be the next knit, probably a couple of headbands, once I've finished the hat that is one the needles at the moment.
