    Spinning up some colourful BFL.

    BFL

    A skirt in progress! This linen one’s been cut out for ages (seriously, years) and I just finally sewed it up. Just needs to be hemmed.

    (Whoops, the waist elastic is a bit unruly! Need to tack that down.)

    New yarn!

    Indochine by Lantern Moon

    The awesome people at Lantern Moon sent me some of their new yarn to try out. Indochine is 100% silk, sport weight, and 134 yds per 50g. This dark purple colour is lovely! The yarn has a nice silky crunch to it and lots of plies (which I like). Can’t wait to cast on with it! I have a few ideas.

    I hope your weekend is sunny and fun! I’ll be going to a baseball game tonight (my first), and doing some more gardening.
