You can join in via https://www.sarahscraftshed.co.uk/?m=1. I’ve fallen in love with a new yarn, it’s Premier Yarn Spun Colors in Blue Ridge, 35% wool, so soft and beautiful. I’m making a Hexagon cardi:
It looks very wonky till you fold it to show it’s a side and a sleeve.
Bella sends purrs to you all. Because the main theme today is to repost our first posts, I’ll not say more apart from adding an ‘And finally,’ which I didn’t do at first. It was Shaz Silverwolf who gave me the idea.
And Finally
Take care, hugs

A toe in the water....
Hi all, I'm Lynne, and after a long time of reading LLJ's posts, I've finally taken the plunge into the Whats on Your Workdesk Wednesday circle, hosted by Julia of http://stamping-ground.blogspot.co.uk/.
I don't usually have a workdesk (OMG, what's she DOING here???) as I'll work on a tray or on my lap, but here goes.
I recently had the idea of making steampunk chatelaines. they were originally going to be mainly functional, for sewing and knitting, as I'm always losing my crochet hook, but the "ctional"soon got overtaken by the decorations.
Having made one for LLJ, here's the one I'm making for myself. I liked the vintage sewing kit/pod I bought, but its enamel is too fragile to mix with all the brass bits, so I'll have to think about what to do with that.
I'll make some earrings from the jade fans. The black and fawn stripy beads looked too interesting to pass, but I don't know what to do with them yet. Any ideas?
I've usually also got some knitting on the go. Having just finished aran jumpers for friends, I needed to knit something fine, so I'm making myself a 4-ply (fingering, I think, outside the UK?) cardigan.
The pattern is a really easy woven stripe stitch from the brilliant Walker Treasury project.
You only knit one colour per row, but the combination of slip stiches and the self-striped wool makes it look more complicated.
Anyway, that's all for this week. I'll contribute as often as I can.
Cheers! Lynne
