Needles on the Move

… is the kind you forgot you ordered :-D

A mystery package was waiting for me when I got back from holidays: I poked it - it felt like squishy fibryness. I couldn’t remember ordering anything… I had to read the note inside for memory to receive a successful prod. It was my first delivery from the Spunky Eclectic fibre club which I signed up for pre-holidays and promptly forgot about.

I did have a great photo of a pile of squidgy fibre but it turned out to be blurry and I am too lazy to take another one. Here, however, is my swatch: the April fibre is Corriedale, colour: Strawberry Fields

I am spinning it DK weight and this particular baby is destined for great things! More on that later in the week.

Btw, did you know that although in normal rib purl curls in and stst curls out, in sideways rib it’s the opposite. Just a little useful information for you there. (grr - as she begins again inside out)
