Gothy and her Crafty Stuff: Tour de Fleece 2014
http://gothycrafts.blogspot.com/2014/07/tour-de-fleece-2014.html
Gothy and her Crafty Stuff. Tuesday, 15 July 2014. Tour de Fleece 2014. As the title suggests, I am taking part in the Tour de Fleece again this year. In short, is a spin along while the Tour de France is going on. The idea is every day the cyclists race, you spin. And you see what you can get done in that time. The Tour started on the 5th, so my posts will be a round up of what I have been achieving day by day, and I will be posting my round ups every few days or so! 234m of light worsted weight yarn:.

Gothy and her Crafty Stuff. Wednesday, 21 May 2014. Thank You Project Complete. Goodness I have been quiet in my little corner of blogland. I had intended to post last week, as I have been very busy, but my smallest has been unwell, so that took priority. And I am now about to go on holiday for a week. So I had best fort my act out. Hand spun lace weight yarn from a Batt Dropping from Nunoco. Hand dyed lace weight yarn from Eden Cottage Yarns. Hand dyed lace weight yarn from KnitPicks (discontinued).

Gothy and her Crafty Stuff: Lucky little me!
http://gothycrafts.blogspot.com/2014/06/lucky-little-me.html
Gothy and her Crafty Stuff. Monday, 16 June 2014. A very quick post for you all today. Today I want to talk about Gradience Yarns. Sam runs both an Etsy shop and a Facebook page, and was running a competition on the latter, shortly before I went away. I was thrilled to win a skein of her yarn, in lace weight on her merino/silk blend base. It arrived while I was away and what lovely post to come home to. So I am writing this post as a thank you to Sam for the lovely yarn, and extras:. Well, there is a cam...

http://gothycrafts.blogspot.com/2014/08/tour-de-fleece-end-of.html
Gothy and her Crafty Stuff. Monday, 4 August 2014. Tour de Fleece the end of! So I haven't posted in ages. Unfortunately not only did I have the Tour De Fleece but I also have the school holidays and an awful lot on to keep little people busy! That said, I DID manage to spin every day of the Tour! The first two were Nunoco. Batts, chain plying each batt to make two repeats of each gradient. Firstly The Spindleberry:. 177m of worsted weight yarn. 234m of sport weight yarn. Not sure what it will be yet...

Gothy and her Crafty Stuff: Ringbearer Shawl
http://gothycrafts.blogspot.com/2014/07/ringbearer-shawl.html
Gothy and her Crafty Stuff. Sunday, 6 July 2014. I have to admit, this was not a planned project. But Patricia of Yummy Yarns UK. Had spun some beautiful. Yarn from some fibre she was given in her Ravelry group's. Secret santa. And she didn't know what to do with it. What she wanted. We discussed patterns and she sent me the yarn:. Which is prettier in real life and has sparkle in it, but its one of those colours that is hard to photograph. So I got knitting. The pattern she chose was Ringbearer. So that...

Gothy and her Crafty Stuff: June 2014
http://gothycrafts.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html
Gothy and her Crafty Stuff. Sunday, 29 June 2014. Spinning for a Cardigan. I know its summer, I know that none of us wants to see this rare sunshine and warmth leave us for autumn and winter, but I find the summer is a good time to at least plan for making winter wear, both for myself and for the children. So I am planning a big, warm cardigan/jacket kind of deal. I was lovingly gifted the book ' Knit, Swirl. By Sandra McIver for Christmas, and my plans are to knit a Coat of Many Colours. I mentioned on ...

Gothy and her Crafty Stuff: January 2014
http://gothycrafts.blogspot.com/2014_01_01_archive.html
Gothy and her Crafty Stuff. Sunday, 26 January 2014. Here Comes The Bride! The pattern she chose was the Japanese Feather and Fan shawl by IzzyKnits. A lovely pattern, but one I wanted to enlarge some, and spent some time scratching my head about how to do it. But I did figure it out, and if anyone wants to know how, I made notes on my project in Ravelry. Feel free to use my adaptations! The rows took some time to complete then. But totally worth it. I cast off a few days ago, then to blocking. So there ...

Gothy and her Crafty Stuff: February 2014
http://gothycrafts.blogspot.com/2014_02_01_archive.html
Gothy and her Crafty Stuff. Friday, 28 February 2014. What I'm doing now. This seemed to be an appropriate title for a post, seeing as I have nothing finished to share this week. That's pretty much down to the nature of the crafty things I am currently up to, two of which are much longer term projects. So I thought rather than letting my blog go completely quiet, I would share what I am currently in the process of making. Second project is the long term spinning project. I now have one full bobbin:.

Gothy and her Crafty Stuff: December 2013
http://gothycrafts.blogspot.com/2013_12_01_archive.html
Gothy and her Crafty Stuff. Wednesday, 18 December 2013. When I started knitting, I had no idea what a tension square otherwise known as a swatch was. Much less the importance of doing one. And when I read up on them it seemed like a lot of complicated maths and hassle. But as time has gone on, I have learnt the importance of going through this process, no matter how tedious it is! So, the yarn! That little ruler doodad at the top is for more than just scale. That is my KnitPro needle sizer, which ha...

Gothy and her Crafty Stuff: Keeping Dry
http://gothycrafts.blogspot.com/2014/06/keeping-dry.html
Gothy and her Crafty Stuff. Thursday, 19 June 2014. I mentioned on a previous post showing off some of my recent spinning that I was planning on using the yarn for a hood. I have a beautiful Jaeger winter coat, proper boiled wool, warm, dry, but it has no hood. I was given it by a relative so hence it wasn't exactly. My choice, but its a gorgeous coat all the same! So after spending this past winter and spring getting soaked. On the school run, I decided to make myself a hood. 19 June 2014 at 18:26.
