Episode 56: Legacy

Hello from a very summery day here on the Plain. In this episode I consider the London 2012 legacy, drool over thoughts of indie dyers and warp a loom.

On the Hooks and Needles

I completed my Millicent by The Natural Dye Studio, although not before the Olympic flame was extinguished :(

Ravelry details are here. I also finished off a few Woolsack cushions (although I'm not sure it gets a mention in this episode!).

Details about the sheepy cushion here and the Guild cushions here.

Recommendation

The Shinybees podcast. Give Jo a listen, it's great!

Warped

Here are some photos from the warping session.

Ready to go...

Something I Really Like

Yarns from indie dyers such as BabyLongLegs, Easy Knits, Fyberspates, The Knitting Goddess, and The Natural Dye Studio which use common base yarns from...
