got my car today and i have a short list of increasing daunting things i would like to do with it. next up: learn how petrol stations work and make it all the way to aldi

im,

i did drive to aldi and i bought heavy things i cant normally take on the bus but the wild thing is you dont need to buy all as much stuff when you have a car because it's dead easy to go back some other time. incredible

i am a lot less nervous than i thought i would be but i am also, objectively, not very good at driving and not used to this car. if i can keep myself safe the first 10-20 hours i think i will be ok. just gotta protect myself while my judgement and control still suck

Does anyone want some fluff?

Some time in the next month or two the boys will have their fluff removed. Normally we'd just give it to the shearing guy but I thought I'd ask, if anyone does their own spinning or whatever and can make use of a raw fleece we could probably arrange to get you one of ours. 🐏

@llamasoft_ox I'm a bit far off up in Scotland so it might not be feasible, but I'd love to have a go at working with some if you were able to post it - obviously I'd cover any costs. I've only been spinning for a few months but I really enjoy it, have just started learning to wash and comb raw fleece so I can work all the way from happy sheep to cozy hat

@llamasoft_ox perfect, thank you so much! all the best to all of you

quite excited about this one

plyed with a bit of white shetland to keep the spacing of the rainbow bits, and away for its bath

A hank of two-ply yarn sitting loosely on a table. It's more rustic looking than commercial yarn but moderately consistent
The yarn submerged in slightly soapy water in a metal bowl

it looks less exciting than the rainbow colour by itself but i think it will knit up nicer. might knit a swatch to compare now that it's too late to change my mind

@im@mastodon.scot avatar

oh my large fluffy son, i am so proud of you

@im@mastodon.scot avatar
