Completed crochet beetroot bag.

The mallard duck (Anas platyrhynchos) is common in wetlands and urban areas and are known for their dabbling feeding style. The male, or drake, is striking with a glossy green head, white neck ring, chestnut-brown breast, blue wing markings, and yellow bill.

This is part of the British Birds on British Bluefaced Leicester limited edition series. These are the final four colourways, making 24 in all. I have enough yarn left to re-dye four only so please don’t miss out!

As I was sitting in the tattoo shop waiting to get my nose pierced, I realized I had left my tape measure, and that was when inspiration hit me.

The dots in the center of the large stars are on the inch, the smaller stars on the half inch. ✨️

Allow me to demonstrate before judging.

I'm about to pick this heel flap back up, but OH NO, the tiny gremlin who steals my stuff has my tape measure again!!!

Good thing I still have my fingers!!!

Lemme just

This past spring I bought a very inexpensive Dorset ewe fleece from an ewe named Sadie in the Dirty Fleece FB group. It was my first time processing raw fleece. And Sadie loved dirt! 😋 I ended up with about 3.5 lbs of scoured fiber from a 6lb fleece, and I probably would have gotten more but I had no idea what I was doing so I made a ton of mistakes that ruined some of it.

I've only combed about 6oz so far and I've finally decided to start spinning the sproingy little clouds. (The rest of it is in a bag) I'm amazed at how fine it wants to be spun and it has the most delicate little halo and teeny bit of shine. I'm thinking I'm going to spin this as singles and knit some very lofty cobweb lace with it.
