Knitting and Spinning -

[@mousiemakespod]

Thanks for this lovely round-up! Your shawl is looking gorgeous and I can see why you've been working on it so much. It's also good to see a gnome or two popping in! I'm enjoying my little Christmas in July makes and currently working on a second knitted Christmas cracker and another sparkly mandala. Thank you for hosting it as a makealong - it's great to hear what everyone else is working on! x

Yes I missed making a Gnome in June so I was happy to get back to some gnome knitting this month. Thank you so much for all of your participation in the make along I’ve been loving seeing your beautiful projects pop up on Instagram 😃

Oh my goodness, that wrap is just lovely.

[@YarnNYarns]

Thank you so much it was a really fun project x

Hi Ange. So glad you got your mojo back. Your wrap looks super fun, I love a scrappy project. A big thumbs 👍 for a stripey love note. Yey for the Christmas socks. I don't know about Christmas in July. I have birthdays in August. I promised my new son in law socks for his birthday and I'm about to crochet a blanket for my friend's golden birthday. I do already have a pair of socks ready for my uncle. At the moment I don't have a lot of headspace. Andy's mum is quite poorly . We are just taking each day as it comes. It been a long few weeks. Hope you manage to keep cool and comfortable over the next few hot days. Take care xx🌈💕

Oh goodness, I'm so sorry to hear about Andy's Mum, I hope that things are ok and that she has started to make a good recovery. Thinking of you all xx

Hey Ange! Spelta is a great pattern - easy to do, yet interesting with its pick up stitches. Yours looks great. I got the yarn for the throw for my son and his sweetheart - Mt. Ranier from Lion Brand Heartland. I wanted it easy to wash because they have three shedding dogs - a husky, a shepherd, and a retriever. The Mt. Ranier is perfect because they hiked at Mt. Ranier this past spring. Setting up for Christmas in July has been easy. I have holiday stuff everywhere because our county fair theme is 'Clark County Fair ... It's like Christmas in July'. We're building a fireplace, putting up a tree, making snowflakes, etc. for our 4H booth. YIKES!

[@YarnNYarns]

Oh wow that yarn does sound absolutely perfect 👍 I hope that the county fair went well, it sounds like you have really been getting in to the spirit of Christmas in July 😃🧡

Hi Ange, my vote would definitely be for a stripey jumper 🤩

[@YarnNYarns]

I am definitely tempted to make one,. hehe

[@sarahgamson8828]

Stripey mohair jumper would look awsome 😀

[@YarnNYarns]

I think it will definitely be on the cards at some point as I can’t stop thinking about that stripey swatch 😃

[@AStateofDeNile]

Wow! You have been busy. Love your advent scarf and the stripey love note sounds fun! I am doing well on my Tour du Knit. I have finished my 1st Lea and I am 2/3s complete with my 2nd Lea. I am about 1/4 done with my Marisol. I am hoping to have this 2nd Lea done by Tuesday, which should give me ample time to finish my 3rd summer top. I am on my 2nd sock of my advent skein. and still have not touched my advent stockings. I will give those some love once my challenge is done. Here is to mega spinning and knitting mojo!! xx

[@YarnNYarns]

hehe I think taking some time off helped me make a good start, I feel like things have started to slow down a bit now, which is not a bad thing but there will be a few projects left unfinished at the end of the month I'm sure. Sounds like you have been making great progress too, I can't to hear about everything you manage to get done by the end of the month, you are a knitting machine!! :D

Hi Ange, I hope you're OK xx ❣ 😘 It's so good to see you. 🥰. Thankyou for the mention, Terry did say I could put the Christmas tree up 🎄. I didn't take himbup on that as if I'd put it in my Crafting space there wouldn't be room for me and like James I don't think he'd have been too happy for it to go up in the lounge. So just put up a Wall Plaque . I'm loving xmasinjuly. ❤ and TDF apart from doing way too much Spinning one day, so wasn't able to do any for a couple of days. Hope everyone is enjoying everything they're doing. Happy Spinning and TDF 🐏 🚲 Take care and stay safe Fibre Friend (s) Lots of love and Big Wooly Hugs Jen xxxx 🐏 🫂 🧡❤🐏🫂❣❣🎄

[@YarnNYarns]

haha yes I think maybe a tree in the living room at this time of year would just be a step too far!! So glad you have been enjoying the make along, hope you have a wonderful weekend x

[@jenniferbrighty5120]

Hi Ange, another great vlog. You're so busy. Your make a long haspassed me back this month. A few deadline gift I'm frantically knitting at present. I took it in holiday with me but the weather in the 2nd part of our hol was so hot I never got any done. I'm making a good friend an aran cardy and I've just had to pull out the 1st sleeve tonight as it was too big🤦‍♀️ The weather this week hasn't helped🥵 Hubby has just bought me a tower fan that arrived today. I just feel like I've been melting🥵 It's small but it's been amazing, no hot flushes or being hot and bothered. It'll be coming to bed with me🥵 My friend's not going to get her cardy for her birthday this week🤷‍♀️ I'm loving seeing all your spinning projects. Can't wait to see your mohair sweater. I'm so behind with my podcasts. Great news I've got loads of patreon vlogs to catch up on eventually. Stay safe and cool 😎 xx

[@YarnNYarns]

What a lucky friend you have. I hope you managed to get the sleeve sorted and that the new fan helped you get through. It really was a scorcher wasn’t it!!!

[@sombrathepest]
