Oak galls

I normally only find a handful each year and I boil them up and dry them out and keep them for another year but this time I have got hundreds.  Going to do a fairIsle in graduated murky colours.

Little autumn top

Joining in with ginny on yarn along.. A funny little tank top that actually won't fit anybody I know so I think I'm going to felt it and even make a soft toys to go with it or find one that it fits

Eek steek

Joining ginny on yarn along.
