Two whole weeks have flown by. What have I been doing? Working on the tills - and working on the tills. I am still trying to get a commission spinning piece finished, but the till work has given me increased joint pain, and right now both knitting and spinning are extremely painful and nigh on impossible... I do hope they settle down as I have a crafting exhibition at the end of January and loads of wool needs spinning in readiness.
Oh and there's the small matter of Christmas in between. I'm working over most of the holidays but I have the big day off and hubby says he is cooking, so I think I am going to chill and enjoy the day with the kids and the Nana.
Once my hands improve I have so much spinning I want to do - I have some lovely Gotland, Polworth and Bamboo that I got from DyeSpinKnit. I also have a lovely biscuit mix colour in Blue faced leicester which is a real pleasure to spin with. I hope to take both to Exeter to Craft4Crafters to sell.
I'm also planning on dyeing up some fibres to sell... I am thinking of having another go at natural dyeing rather than chemicals. I was chatting to a lady on Twitter who is going to do some kits for beginners - will post a link as soon as they are for sale...
OK - off to prepare some fibre for dyeing tomorrow...
