Ok, I am throwing my hands up and admitting defeat. I am 3 months behind on StashDown12, and I can’t catch up. My spinning time is seriously limited by toddler interference, my own fatigue, and a busy family schedule.
I am, however, knitting TWO things at the same time. As a monogamous knitter, this is both exciting and terrifying.
A stripe study shawl, and
A chunky cabled vest, both for me!
I have also had some stash enhancement lately… lots of BWM balls and cones!

This blasted shawl was reknit twice. Mainly because I am an idiot, and shouldn’t attempt lace when I have kids/toddler around.
Yarn: Wollmeise Dark Magnolie
Sticks: 4mm, 4.5 to bind off.
Pattern. Haruni. First Shawl. Chastain.

Another year, another sheep show, and another amazing (long) weekend away with amazing people! And again, I managed to take hardly any photos, because my hands were full of a wriggling toddler/fibre/yarn/shopping/hugging friends. Oh well!
Three Bags Full..
The house we were staying at this year was *amazing* – we have found our new Bendi home! Huge, many many rooms, and even a seperate retreat. Perfect for lots of families and kids of all ages. Kangaroo spotting and sunsets/sunrises was the order of the day, and we all enjoyed chilling by the fire in the evenings.
The best bit about going up a few days early, is the time we spent actually relaxing and enjoying Bendigo itself. Lake Weeroona is spectacular, and the weather was just fabulous to match.
(But god, am I kicking myself for forgetting the pram/stroller until N drove up and joined us on the friday night! My arms were killing me!)
We popped into the wonderful Bendigo Pottery, a destination which will be a regular for us!
The show was exhausting as usual, but what a day! I got to see lots of familiar faces, and as usual got to put some faces to rav names and blogs. There was much stash snaffling, and I really enjoyed seeing lots of new vendors as well as the favourites.
On to the stash!
Finds from the BWM back room
Yarn from the show
Fibre from the show
That’s my fibre and yarn spendings for the year
