Episode 94: New Year, New Beginnings

Hello, not from Cheshire today, but Bradford! Join me as I give a quick round up of my knitting and weaving over December and talk about my own new beginnings this year.

On The Needles

The Woolly Wormhead Mystery Hat has been parked, waiting to be frogged. I have cast on a Kunye by Claire Devine as part of The Golden Skein's first birthday celebrations.


I have also cast on an Every Baby Sweater for my cousin's little boy, but I have no pictures yet.

In the Weaving Shed

I finished my cousin's husband's scarf, made from my Mobberley 4ply and Chelford yarns:

 
And I finished her scarf too, which was in a merino silk laceweight from DT Crafts.
 

Shop

There is currently a 20% discount on items in the shop to banish the January Blues. Use the code JANUARY2015 at www.YarnsFromThePlain.Etsy.com .The shop can also be reached from the Shop link on the front page of my new (almost ready) website at www.yarnsfromtheplain.co.uk, where you can also sing up for the newletter, to keep up-to-date with any shop updates, news, etc. Ultimately the show notes will be hosted here, but not just yet, so the Blog button isn't live yet.
