spin posted in handspun yarn spinning yarn tagged handspun yarn spinning 1 comment in which gorgeous girl cooks july 28 2017 by ruthsplace while we were in australia gorgeous girl spotted a video recipe on my facebook feed and decided to recreate it she made some modifications and it was delicious the salmon was a real treat as we can only get frozen salmon at very expensive prices here in png asparagus runs to around 45 a kilo so that was a real treat as well we don t eat salmon or asparagus while we are in png she also made potatoes carrots and brocolini as sides gorgeous man assisted with the wrapping of the salmon and asparagus in the foil but the rest was all gorgeous girl i m so glad that she is learning cooking skills now i didn t really start to cook until i was an adult

making and connect with some indie dyers i bought some fibre and yarn and collected some business cards of vendors that i d like to try when the stash has gone down a little these gorgeous yarns and fibres came from pickle and co i can t wait to play with these the purple braid is 17 micron and is the softest merino fibre i ve ever felt i also bought 400 grams of a merino flax blend from the art and craft cottage this looks like it s going to be fun to spin as well posted in spinning tagged spinning 1 comment hand spun socks july 24 2017 by ruthsplace i got a bit obsessed by these socks while we were away knitted on them every car trip we made and in the evenings spun from merino wool in a traditional three ply frustratingly they are a little bit shorter than i would like in the leg i do

spun hand knitted items in the mail i belong to a group on ravelry called aussies knitting for war affected kids feel free to click on the link and join the group we re a friendly bunch and it s not just australians knitting the items made are delivered to syrian refugee children some toddler sized socks due to the risk of fire in the camps it has been requested that no acrylic yarn is used some toddler sized socks in hand spun yarn some scarves all items are from handspun yarn i know it s not much but if i can help warm one person then i feel less helpless in the face of so much suffering

show you first something i took right down to the wire i knitted this scarf last year and then got stalled when it came to blocking in my defense it was rainy season when i finished it and i knew it would have problems drying i finally got it blocked and dried the day before we left so that i could gift it while we were in australia it blocked out really well i love the look of it puddled on the couch this went to live with my sister in law rockmelon recycled who as a maker herself both of my sils are makers appreciates the handknits to keep this in the family this yarn was given to me by my step mother in law when i saw that the colour was almost identical to the hat i had already knitted rochelle i knew i needed to make a scarf to match posted in finished objects gifts knitting knitting
