Nothing says early summer like …

A black, long-line waistcoat in a bulky wool yarn:

A completed back and front, plus a front-in-progress leading to the unravelling jumper

Or a sock-weight wool shawl:

Summer Mystery Shawl: Behind as always!

Or stranded colourwork fingerless mitts:

You can see the thumb gusset emerging as pin-stripes!

Spinning Sunday

Plied yarn: Skeined and on the spindle
