Libby: none for me this week
Ooh Shiny!
Spinning and dying fiber. I did join an instagram subscription to @grittyknits on instagram. Website is Grittyknits.com. There are some special perks that go with that. So check her out. I also subscribed to her monthly fiber sub as well and I’m super excited for that.
Gnomes- of mine, so I needed different ones. I’ve had the pattern Never Not Gnoming by Sara Schira. And spinning of course!
