Even though it has been possibly the worst week for drying, I have managed to top up the BFL Masham in both the 4ply and the DK. I even managed to get Nicola to put on her rather splendid #pheasantpullover by @savoryknitting and have her photo taken, but I’m not sure she wants me as a sister anymore.

We have a new yarn, a merino and kid mohair 4 ply single.

I’ve just added the last few skeins of our seriously soft Alpaca & Silk 4ply to the shop. There’ll probably be no more until October due to the Covid situation but if you fancy joining in the Stillness MKAL by @curioushandmade I’ve tried out a few combinations #ainsworthandprin #stillnessmkal #curioushandmade #knitalong #shawlknitting #shawlknittersofinstagram #handdyersofinstagram #handdyedyarn

This is my weekend, another sock and a bush full of white currants.
Every year the birds eat all the red currants and leave the white, does anyone have any recipes for a white currant glut?
There are also sock sets in the shop if you fancy some stripy socks for gardening in. #sockknittersofinstagram #sockknitting #operationsockdrawer #lovetoknit #weekendknitting #ainsworthandprin

Tickle Me Pink on Alpaca and Silk 4ply with Trachelospermum jasminoides Pink Showers, possibly the world's most disappointing Trachelospermum but for sheer softness the alpaca won't let you down. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Remember we have free UK postage on orders over £15 for the weekend.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀

This is Rural Rabbit inspired by my Dee Harwicke notebook and looking very pastoral. A bit of crayoning is really very restful not a bad thing at the moment.⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
