Hi,
I know that it hasn't been the coldest or snowiest of winters here in the Midlands but I'm feeling ready for some proper sun, the chance to leave the washing out and all the windows open.
I have managed to wash some fleece, letting it dry a little on the line then huddle up near the radiator to finish off and as a consequence I have two more skeins spun and four bobbins waiting to be plied into another couple of skeins.
there is 60gm on each bobbin, they are large bobbins 😀
All of this means I've been knitting headbands between working on other things and, after car load of boxes was delivered last Friday to the charity shop, my workroom is beginning to look a lot more organised.
The cross stitch started during our stay in Bridlington has been finished and is waiting to be turned into another small pillow and the Quaker ABC has been getting some attention and is coming along nicely. Since the beginning of the new year I have been watching people stitch on an assortment of SALs ( stitch a longs ) where you have a section released to you each month.
I've not been able to make up my mind whether to take part in one of these, at least not until a few days ago when I found one that really caught my eye. Its a free download from one point mind as long as you sign up by February 22.
I'll keep you posted on this as I will be playing catch up as the first two parts have been released. It's a band sampler and so far seems to be a mixture of blackwork and cross stitch.
That really is about all for now, speak soon xx

What beautiful white fiber! Your headbands are lovely. I went through my handspun bins the other day and was shocked at how much I have. I really need a plan on how to use it all. Your stitching projects are so pretty. The last one is very interesting.
