I made my own art batts, from some of Ashleigh's beautiful roving collection. I knitted companionably and we both finished a thing or two (an octopus flew off her needles, you've already seen what I got done). I got some expert help with figuring out my new spinning wheel while the children slept on the living room floor.
And I tipped out a huge portion of her stash in the name of finding scraps for a baby bonnet (and "helping" her to "organise it" - also known as "shall I take some of this off your hands?"). I came home with three skeins of pretties to add to my own stash - oh OK, and some mini skeins and other bits that sort of leapt into my basket at her local yarn store...
I also couldn't resist laying out the hexipuffs-to-date progress of her Beekeeper Quilt. I may or may not be collecting sock yarn scraps now. :)
Wow, so much yarn loveliness. That quilt is amazing!
ReplyDeleteAw, I love the post mainly because I'd never dare write something like it. I'm *not* in denial at all! ;)
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to seeing some spinning progress and seeing what you create with your they-just-fell-in-to-my-bag yarns.
Yummy x
