This week I finished spinning the raw fleece I washed and dyed last month -
I spun a three ply yarn to make a round yarn, and to blend the colours better (I didn't want a striped sweater). I could have dyed the yarn after spinning, instead of dyeing the fibre and blending it, but when knitting with hand dyed yarn it is recommended to alternate skeins, and I don't enjoy knitting that way.
I started knitting the Climb Every Mountain sweater by Heidi Kirrmaier.
This past week I also finished a personal challenge to paint/draw a bit everyday. It started November 1st 2025, I thought I would do the month, loved it so much decided on 100 days, still loving it, challenged for a year. It was tough during the summer when days are full - some days it was a very quick sketch, but I am so glad that I stuck with it, and I am definitely going to keep going, just maybe not every day.
I am still working on my 60 mini watercolours (2"x3") to celebrate my 60th year.
The youngest chickens are blending in well now.
All the best!♥︎
