It may not surprise you enormously, even at this early stage, to hear that there is another blanket in the works that I haven’t mentioned yet \ud83d\ude42 It is also of the granny square variety, but using a much heavier weight yarn than the waistcoat. This yarn is Sublime chunky merino tweed – 80% merino wool.<\/p>\n

Note to self: never leave littl’un and work-in-progress alone in the same room \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

I have some birthday cards to make and have found another fabulous use for those hearts<\/a><\/p>\n

In other news, Norfolk Beard Oil <\/a>co-founder, Marek Duchnowski has been bigging up my chunky-rib masculine Rowan Big Wool neckwarmers as his neckwear of choice:<\/p>\n

But perhaps most excitingly of all…. Tomorrow I pick up my spinning<\/strong> <\/em>wheel<\/strong><\/em>!!<\/strong> <\/em>Hard to express quite how excited I am \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n
