After a difficult winter looking after my seriously ill husband I am now back into the throes of producing work.

Unfortunately I shall only be doing 2 shows this year at the moment, Upton Cross in August and 3Bags Full Liskeard in October, due to caring for my husband.

However I have been relaxing with spinning and knitting, photos to follow and have started natural dyeing now weather improving as biggest problem is getting yarn dry.

Waist coat is Handspun Shetland and Blue Face Leicester fleece, the dyed wool daffodils, onions, and dandelions.

I have treated myself  a new wheel a Krominski Minstral, very fast and easy to use

This garment is knitted diagonally using Handspun merino, cashmere and silk.

There is a new magazine British Fibre Crafts out well worth a look.

I have also been doing some pin loom weaving on a 10 cm frame [ 4 inches] as it was very easy to carry to the hospital my husband was in as well as my knitting.

It is certainly true that fibre arts are stress relieving.

Sheep Hat

I have been having trouble getting onto my page for updating on new computer, now cracked it!. The security settings were stopping me so will now have more frequent updates.

New spun wool arriving this week from our fleeces, cannot wait to see how it has turned out.

Some of my designs accepted for new knitting magazine, will let you know when it is published.

Order book is now full so cannot take on any more until the New Year, unless there are any experienced knitters out there who would like to knit for me.Each pattern is individual as my garments are one off designs.

I have plenty of wool for sale for those who knit for them selves.

I have been asked to design a coat using as many types of spun fleece from different breeds of sheep and lots of different stitches.This will keep me busy, my brain is buzzing with ideas.
