Hello everyone, a very belated happy new year. I’ve had a very hectic few months and then promptly caught covid which is taking longer than I would have hoped to recover from, so blog posts are a bit slow at the moment. I did manage to make it to East Anglia Yarn Festival yesterday, so after a very un-fibre-y start to the year, it was nice to be surrounded by all things yarn.
I was much more restrained this year; I didn’t buy any fibre or yarn and instead purchased things which I feel fulfil William Morris’ quote of being either useful or beautiful (or both). I purchased a selection of vintage goodies from Simply Vintage Designs which I will use in more historical projects (and in my opinion one can never have too much vintage lace!), a needle-felting mat from Felt Wildly which should come in useful for future projects, and chose some beautiful porcelain buttons from Buttoned Up. I also purchased a card from LittleGemFelts whose sheepy art pieces always bring me joy and a suitably witchy mug from Emily Cross Ceramics who also makes incredibly intricate yarn bowls.
While I didn’t come back with any wool, I do have plenty in my stash that needs processing and lots of projects planned for when I get time. I have finished one smaller project off that I knitted at the end of last year and needed sewing together, so will be back with a finished object blog post soon.
Happy Crafting!
