Finally!

Well, finally I have an update ready. I have been so busy for the last couple of months, I have been getting back into a bit of work, which is great, but the associated organising is exhausting. I've been doing a bit of knitting and spinning, and Tasmanian Wool Suppliers in Moonah are now stocking "Tasknitterspins" and "The Bird and the Fish" handspun yarns and hand-dyed rovings in their store, which is really exciting. I've also just heard that I will be having a stall at the Spring Beach Market, which I'm really looking forward to. Then late last week my darling brother delivered the bump of 18 micron merino that Jo (Bird and the Fish) and I had been waiting for, the stars aligned, I had a night at home alone and the resulting carnival has been making our house look like a souk for most of the week. Anyway, now they are all dry and ready to go. Email me at lynnecarhart@hotmail.com or pm me on Ravelry (Tasknitter) if you'd like to adopt, spun or as rovings..

Who'd have thought?

I had an update all ready to go, honest I did, I had some lovely yarns all photographed and loaded up, just waiting for me to arrange them artfully, then over the course of one weekend I had my monthly knitting meetup and a car boot sale. I wasn't going to take my wares to either, but for one reason and another I did, and came back almost empty handed! Who would have thought that the local primary school carpark would be home to so many prolific yarnies? Anyway, it's taken me a couple of weeks to restock, and I've had a new experience along the way, I've met, dyed and spun some lovely 16 micron Tassie Lambswool, which was like a bowlful of butter! Everytime I go past it begs to be touched!
