Where did the month go. It's been horridly warm here. So warm in fact it was still 70F at 11pm last night. All the trees are in bud and I saw a butterfly yesterday morning. I've had to run the fan because of course it's a bit muggy with the warmth.
The old saying about clouds and silver linings still holds true. Despite the continuing revelations and convolutions of the KAL/ACM magazines, their sock and lace clubs, a Ravelry group has formed to support and inform designers and writers who've been unpaid. The silver lining is that the call for indie designers, spinners and dyers has been answered and there are spectacular items on offer.
To lift them up, I've decided to weekly feature a Silver Lining list:
Literally Yarn is available from The Yarn Cafe
Swifts, Noseprinnes, Spindles, and Niddy-Noddys are available from Sunflower Swifts and Sublime Spindles
Colorimetry sells hand dyed yarn and fibre goodies both wool based and cotton/vegetable. We have sourced some unusual base yarns including a wool/linen sock blend. This Esty shop is updated on Thursday's.
Lady Kina is still on the needles, but I expect to finish by the March 31 deadline. Wearing the Lady Kina upon completion will require a return of Old Man Winter. So I shall finish, block, and store until next Fall.
Next on the needles will be the Bristol Shirt in Berocco Remix in the Strawberry colourway.
