On my needles - more stash yarn! I'm on a mission to use at least some of the special balls of yarn I have stashed. The yarn that is stashed because it's too lovely to use! There was only a little of this light colour and I'm using the last bit of it in stripes with the yarn that will complete my sweater. Do you notice anything about the stripes? No steps! All thanks to my good friend, Hilda from Ilona Slow Life Creations. And she has made a You Tube video of this mind blowing technique. You can find it here - https://youtu.be/OMaoFMDWT70 Let me know what you think - and do join Hilda on Patreon - she has so many more mind blowing tips and tricks to take your knitting and crochet to the next level! https://www.patreon.com/ilonaslowlifecreations

Spanspek, aka as sweet melon or cantaloupe, is renowned for its exceptional taste in South Africa. But why is it called Spanspek? The story goes back to Sir Henry Smith, a governor at the Cape, and his Spanish wife, Juana Smith. Sir Harry relished bacon and eggs for breakfast, but Lady Juana preferred cantaloupe. This led to the melon being dubbed “Spaanse spek” (Spanish bacon). And so, the name Spanspek came to be! Discover Spanspek across our collections at ColourSpun online. https://colourspun.com/shop/

New on my needles. A stash busting ripple blanket. This one will use up part of my collection of hand spun yarns and some special leftovers from other things. We're also hard at work making a new range of products, especially for hand spinners and fibre artists. While we're busy with them, check out our lovely Merino Roving at ColourSpun online. https://colourspun.com/shop/product/pure-merino-roving/
