We have been a bit busy and will fill you in with our recent travels soon.
As for the spinning ….

I've been feeling that I need a challenge, to keep me spinning which in turn will enable me to keep knitting.
The one that I've come across is Twelve in Twelve which is running on the Create with fFibre Facebook group.
The idea is to prep and spin 12 different fleeces in the year (only one skein per breed is really needed and I really don't think that I could get through 12 in a year) and if possible use the yarn in some way.
Ok, its a big ask or at least I thought it was but its the beginning of March and I have 5 in the bag as far as spinning is concerned, all from raw fleece although its possible that I will sell some skeins rather than knit with them.

So far I've managed South Down, borerey, Mule (poss NC) an unknown breed (random donated fleece but really nice, and Kerry Hill.
Waiting for more prep are a bobbin of Black welsh mountain cross lleyn and a bobbin of Norfolk Horn x Charolais.

I have a white cheviot to check out, hopefully some black cheviot ( I suppose that counts as just one breed) some hebridean, ryland and Shetland.

Twelve? That is a challenge. If anyone could do it you could!
Dear Guzzisue, I remember you from take a stitch tuesday many years past, and it made my day to see you are still tavelling and stitching, although in diffenent ways. I'm also knitting a lot these days, but sadly my day job kills the time I used to put into the blog. Rock on!
