A long week

It's felt like I long week here, because I've spent most of it at home with a stomach bug. Not really much to tell, so I'll mention a couple of other things I managed to get done last weekend.

I finally finished my maternity sweater, which I was proudly at the bus stop on Tuesday morning, before I decided it might be better to come home. Here is it.

I made some curtains for the nursery. They could probably do with some weights for the bottoms, but I haven't been out all week to be able to get any.

I managed to do a bit of spinning on Friday night/Saturday morning and here is the result. It's blue faced leicester (BFL) humbug, from Wingham Wool Work. This is the first spinning I've done in ages. I span the first single back in March and only just got round to spinning another. I'm not sure what to spin next. I'm thinking I should probably try and use some of my handspun in projects before spinning anything new.

I'm hoping I'll be able to get back to normal this week before WoolFest on Friday, but it's taking me way longer than I expected. I'm not a very good patient.

I hope you're back on top form again now. Being ill is the worst. xx

Lovely jumper. The basket you bought at Woolfest is really beautiful.

The jumper looks really lovely on. I didn't see you actually wearing it at Woolfest as it was so hot.
