Here is a fairly recent ( I really must get around to updating my website with these!) Kids' Drawing story make for a wee girl, who was very specific with her instructions to me on the drawing, and then also via her Mum who ensured I made the head cream and not yellow, gave her blue eyes, and added in the brown fringe 😊 I decided to also add the rest of the hair and make the hoodie removable from the head and added a little green skirt and some black shoes.

Next stage completed. Top pattern cut out in old blue sheet with freeform crochet suns laid on top in oranges, reds and yellows. The rest will be filled with lacy freeform shapes shading gradually from almost black to sunset lilacs and peaches to a black silhouette landscape at the bottom.

Finished! The shawl inspired by the old churchyard in Stirling is done. No posh yarn in this one but lots of surface work. Ended up more cosplay than everyday! Thinking abstract gravestones, lichen, dying leaves, rowan berries, hips, bindweed, spiders' webs and snail shells. One for next Halloween! As ever, no pattern.

#throwbackthursday Around 10 years ago, I was off to my first year of the master spinner's program at Old's college. But before I left, I somehow left my purse with all my electronics and spindles on the ground and then ran over it while backing out. 😅 Half my electronics and all my spindles were trashed. Some people who I told at school told me to bring my broken spindles to Jan at Danware. So I did, and he got them fixed up for me really quick. They spin even better now. This is what I made to thank him. Asked him what his favourite colors and animal was. They brought it to all their markets, whenever I'd see the Danware booth I'd always look for that little speck of pink too. After I gave him that he also snuck up behind me and put a wooden felting needle holder in my purse. Such a sweet guy. I think this may be my last year to buy from them as their online shop is closed and they're selling off stock at markets this year. I'll have to get as many spindles as I can. 🥲
