I'm off to ALIA Information Online conference this week - how exciting!
Planning to get lots of crafting done in between librarian-ing (and on the planes there and back if they don't confiscate my crochet hook)

Some meetups are planned (finding some new (perhaps crafty) librarians should be fun) and I'm hoping to find a few moments to trek around and visit some yarn shops!

I find these kind of events super-exhausting so hope I can enjoy it all without getting sick or grumpy - otherwise I may end up like this!

David Tennant Big and Cuddly free crochet pattern

Just got my first Shunklies batt completey spun up ^_^ Turned out to be about 180 meters which will be enough to let me do something fun.

Just unplaited and started on the second colour - but realised I need to decide first on whether I want to keep these as singles or ply them up (so the spin ends up the correct way)... My handspun is not that even yet, but they do look pretty as singles. Any thoughts?

New gloves! and I even managed to incorporate some of my new hand-spun ^_^ happy! Not sure if I'm quite ready to go all out on a hand-spun knit yet as it's a rather bright colour combination
There were knit from my Mobius Mitts v2 pattern - but I used DK instead of Bulky so they turned out much smaller and more like wrist warmers. View on Ravelry | Etsy

After my posting spree during the Christmas holidays I thought it might be good to try and keep this up a little by pre-scheduling some weekly posts. One idea I had was to feature some more projects made from my patterns - there are more and more of these appearing and they make me so happy to see!

Thanks to all those who have sent me photos or linked their projects on Ravelry!

Eee ^_^ I really needed a pick-me-up today - lots of stuff going on and feeling anxious. This wonderful fluff was in my mail box :D I won this from Inspiration Fibers via Phat Fiber . It's so much bigger than I expected! Thank you! Really made my day!

It's done! So happy! Stayed up way too late last night plying
Running away for the weekend - sorry to those I haven't managed to get back to yet - will do my best to reply to you asap

It's growing ^_^ (after lots of Little Dorrit watching last night)

Squeezed into our small house and taking up 1/4 of the living space, but whirling along happily :) So many thanks to my Aunt who has allowed me to use this treasure ^_^ and to all those who helped me get it into the car and to my house!

The first tiny bit of yarn :)

Some recent creations for the shop :)
