After discovering the contortions you have to go through to try and photograph yourself wearing gloves it was easier to stick them to the wall.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Wiveton Gloves, a free pattern on the website blog, that only needs about 40g of 4ply yarn, just in case you need to try and squeeze a Christmas present out of your scraps.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
This pair is made in our British spun, BFL Masham 4ply blend in the colour Old Town. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Charleston on Merino & Silk single because I’m trying to pretend it’s not grey and wet outside.

Knitting up a new design in our Ainsworth and Prin BFL and Masham 4 ply and then like a kid I collected these conkers. Do children play conkers anymore? There are an awful lot around this year.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

@thecrochetproj are having a sock crochet along to celebrate #socktober and I’m going to give it a go. I may have been lulled into a false sense of security by the use of the word “easy” on the pattern, it’s going to have to be. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

Slubby DK is coming with us to Yarndale - unless I forget.
The thing I panic about most is forgetting something, between us we've forgotten dress samples, yarn, the float even where we've been staying but so far we've never forgotten the cake/s.
I think we might need to look at our priorities but in the meantime, rather than writing a check list I thought I’d put the recipe for our favourite fruitcake on the blog. Styled by Nicola hence the artistic crumb positioning.
