This is Bessie. Actually her full title is Sixty Buck Bangin’ Bendigo Bessie.
We met a few weeks ago now, when the lovely Tara brought her down to Melbourne on a road trip. It was decided that Bessie would come to my house for a visit.. to fulfil my spinning urges, and to see how we got along.
Well. We got along well. Very well. And it was decided that she would make this her home…
100gm of EGMTK Merino/Soy blend, In Bloom. It’s not perfect, because 1) I cant feel my hands, therefore making controlling the twist a little tricky, and 2) because I am a n00b and plied it the wrong way before rescuing it.
It’s so so so good to be spinning again. Alas, I have no fibre stash, so will have to do some shopping when my favourite indie dyers do updates..
Exciting things are in the works..
Do you want some yarny goodness? Both undyed and hand dyed? Fibre? Landscape dyes? Other goodies? Then stay tuned…
I cant get rid of my blog now, can I? 
That’s not totally true, they are all fine, fine, finished objects. Worth waiting for, every second. Things didnt exactly go to plan (but when do they?) but nothing a few weeks of recuperating and resting at home wont fix..
Welcome to the world, Matilda Elise Helen!
This is the FO I had to keep under wraps (kindof) until the weekend.. Kelli came up to stay while in Melb for a short visit, and I got to give her these:
They fit! I am VERY relieved. They are just what she wanted – 8ply, and machine washable..
Yarn: Handyed 8ply Machine Wash from the BWM back room.
Needle: 3.75 KP Harmony DPN’s
And these are the LAST knitted gifts I am committing to for a long while, and DEFINITELY the last birthday socks
