Libby: Finished my last pumpkin - posted photos of them all on instagram last week. From Fluff to Stuff -I plied my purple people eater dye experiments. I started spinning some Polypay/rambouillet blend that I got at the last WAFA sale from Leaf Livestock. It spins up quite lovely. What is Polypay? A medium sized sheep breed that was developed in the 1960s at the US Sheep Experimentation Station in Idaho. They are noted for being good meat and wool sheep. They are a cross of 4 sheep breeds: Rambouillet, Targhee, Dorset, and Finnsheep. I am enjoying it a lot. I’m spinning it the thinnest I’ve spun yet. It’s so easy to spin. It’s roving instead of top so it’s not as smooth but it’s very soft. Fibercats dyepots: Overdye projects-Cascade 220 and Cascade Merino Dream Ooh Shiny! Terri-Rustic wooly wools are drawing my attention lately.  WAFA Junction Fiber Mill Manou-Ravelry link- Sweater by Isabell Kraemer Libby: OBSESSED with Daisy & Dime’s patterns.  Looking at blanket patterns and I think I’m going to go with the EasyCrochet Weighted Crochet Blanket. .I wanted something simple & Striped I’ve been doing diamond dotz LOL. Leisure Suit-   Terri- Finished the Killing.  Finished Season 2 of Good Omens. ADORED it.  I watched most of the first season of Vampire Diaries, alternated with a bit of Poirot. Talk about opposite ends of the spectrum.   Taskmaster Season 16 Libby: I’ve been watching this season of BIP - no comments really Took a break from VD but I’ve been watching episodes here and there.
