We are back home, an uneventful journey back to the storage yard, unloaded the van of food items and clothes and returned home. I remembered to bring my wheel and fibre home but my cross stitch project is still packed (accidently) ready for the next trip.
I forgot to mention yesterday that the red arrows flew past in formation as we walked down the avenue into Cirencester, I heard them coming but didn't have chance to grab the cameras.
Yesterdays charity shop finds ( other than a couple of cds )
Isle of Skye Jigsaw
and a book about needlework tools, this is a 1971 reprint of a 1928 book, absolutely fascinating as it contains not just history but rhythms, quotations and poems about needlework.
Now for the update that you have all been waiting for, TDF spinning ! I finished the 60 gm of white texel and also quickly spun 60gm of chunky Jacob. In case you are wondering, I tend to spin 55- 60 gm each bobbin as it guarantees that the weight of the finished skein, after washing, will be over 100gm.
Quick knitting update, I finished all four pairs of mitts and these have now arrived at their new home.
The purple at the bottom is a hat that accompanied them on their journey 😀
