A close up of hot pink bougainvillea flowers

This afternoon... Knitting a shawl with some handspun yarn 😁

A view of the garden from under a willow tree. The sky is blue and there are a few fair weather clouds.

A wound skein of handspun yarn in greeny greys. Out of focus behind is a lace chart for a shawl.

@sheepnik Thank you! It's been a delight to spin... Just trying to decide on what it wants to be... I have some copper-coloured beads... There's 400m of sock weight 😁

@sheepnik Not unreasonable... I've finished some yarn for the #tourdefleece #spinning #handspun

A photo collage of the production of a skein of handspun yarn from fibre to plied yarn. The fibre is a copper-beech colour and is a mix of BFL and mohair.

My day one progress #tourdefleece #spinning #handspun

A part filled bobbin of handspun singles. The fibre is fine merino and the colour is called Lavender - shades of purple and dusky light green.

A posy of garden flowers including orange roses, shasta daisies and hypericum in a small cream ceramic milk jug with a blue chicken and chick drawn on in outline.

It seems I am now the custodian of a bougainvillea... #bloomscrolling

@sheepnik To be honest, it was mostly 'keep to the guidance, people... It saves me loads of extra work doing the editing!' and my colleagues are super supportive, but we could do with it like a hole in the head just now... An email would have done... 🙄

@sheepnik Sounds good! Just home from leading a staff meeting on report writing - I get all the glamorous jobs 😉

@sheepnik 👍

@KnittingDyke Thank you! The eyes are from my local haberdashery shop in the town a few miles away.

@sheepnik have a look at thread on Rav 😉

@dj_cthulhu You're welcome 😁 I've had fun 👍

@sheepnik Thank you! I've tried the smooth tail as it's going to be a door stop 😁

My day... 😉 #knitting

An Emotional Support Chicken pre stuffing. The colours are grey and a gingery brown with a slate green stripe nearest the head.

@cognissart Indeed!

@venite @cognissart They're amazing - we have a pair in the area and we see and hear them most days 😁

@DJDarren She's certainly been filling the air with sound for the past 20 minutes!

Not so #SilentSunday 😉

A photo of a wren singing in the garden - very noisy for such a tiny bird!

Thank you everyone for the lovely comments! The best thing about this amazingly practical pattern are the pockets! This is the 6th one I've made - it just works every time 😁
