This inscription dating to the late 16th or early 17th century commemorates Thomas Gooding, who chose to be buried upright so that he might arise more quickly on Judgment Day.

All you that do this place pass bye

Remember death for you must dye.

As you are now even so was I

And as I am so shall you be.

Thomas Gooding here do staye

I have finished my first goal of 300g of Corriedale in the kingfisher colourway. I ended with a 2ply sport weight, and a total of 947m spun from the fold to keep the colours from going muddy

I am making progress on my second goal at 300 out of 400g of my gradient Skein and the Stitch project. 300g has got me 1212m in 2ply sport/fingering weight so far with 100g to go.

And because I have been alternating these so far I am adding a new goal to the roster:

I'm going to spin this as a combo spin, aiming for 3 ply and a DKish weight. I've split all the braids into 4 and re-bundled them so I get a bit of everything in each skein, then I'm going to break them down and make grab bags for each single to get some really random colour play going on

I am so excited for this one, I rushed through playing the last of the Corriedale so I could jump right into this!

I forgot to post last night, but here's my progress for day 2! I lost track of how much I did, but definitely a lot more in one day than I have in a long time.
