TDF Day 13 ............. Coffee !!

 Yep, met friends for coffee, took my Nano and my coffee mug was as big as my wheel, not often that happens haha

We all used to work together many years ago and still get to see each other maybe once a month. They turned up shortly after I took the photo, honest :-)

This was the only spinning for day 13 although I have cast off the shawlette, its needs a few ends sewing in, a good wash and gentle block but its nice and soft and brings the shetland project total up to two shawlettes and six pairs of fingerless mitts.

Hopefully back to proper spinning tomorrow.

Day 8, spinning as a reward.

 I woke up yesterday with a sore throat, not what I wanted but not too unusual as a combination of chronic cough along with hayfever sometimes plays havoc this time of year. The good thing was that Ian is away from the weekend so I didn't need to speak to anyone at all :-)

I had planned to go to knit group but cancelled and played a game of "if you tidy a room and mop the floor then you can spin" you can see from the amount of spinning that three floors were mopped haha.

In the evening I added a few more rows to the shawl and combed out some more Shetland.

As for today, day nine, I'll see how I feel after doing the weekly shop. I may venture out with the Nano depending on the weather.

TDF Day 7, short and sweet

 Quickie post today, yesterday (day 7) was a spinning day, the last of the prepared Ryeland is now spun making the Ryeland total so far 400gm ish.

I took my Nano to knit and natter and finished the 25 ish gm of Bowmont. I have another knitting group later today which I rarely get chance to show my face at and will take either the Nano or my knitting. Depends on how I feel and if its raining I may not bother fighting my way into town.

Last night I settled down with the scrappy shawl, this is all oddments of Shetland spun on the Nano and left over from other projects.

last night I sorted through the bag of the Lleyn cross, this is the last of the fleece from last year. Again around 400 gm to spin.

Back to the spinning wheel :-)
