BBC needs to be bolstered. As a UK citizen, I urged BBC to fight DJT's lawsuit. I saw 6 Jan 2021 unfold in live news. Panorama's excerpts from his speech only made what he meant clear. Settlement would be a Chamberlain move. Let's tell BBC we are with them. www.bbc.co.uk/contact/comm...

Bought myself a treat in a second hand book shop. It is very much a wartime edition, full of make do and mend, and a whole chapter in knitting for the forces. Lets see if I can find a follow on pattern to Up To Your Neck. #VintagePatterns #1940sKnits

We have blue sky and fluffy white clouds, and all the yarn you could wish for. Today is a good day for visiting your local yarn shop (if you have one), wherever you are :)
A large shop window seen from the inside, with the tops of buildings and a bare tree showing outside. There is text on the window which is seen in reverse and says Ewe and Ply Wool shop. Inside the window is a solid screen with a curved top edge, and in front of that some shelves of colourful yarn.

Signs that Ewe&Pky have been eating Tunnocks teacakes again…
A foil Tunnocks teacake wrapped has been completely smoothed out and left on a wooden table. The handle of a white mug is seen at the left side of the photo.

We’ve a delivery of hand turned wooden darning mushrooms and darning discs (we call ’em Darning Darlings). Aren’t they beautiful? Darned useful as well ;)
An array of wooden darning mushrooms and thick wooden discs with grooves around the side are laid out on a wooden surface. They are made of different woods so they are shades of deep brown, light ash brown, purple and white and orange.

And this is where our yarns gets dyed. Behold, the Ewe&Ply Dye Works in The Dolydd, Llanfyllin. The only 19th century workhouse still accessible to the public in the UK.
A single storey stone built building with patchy lime wash. There are two many paned windows. To the right a dark green door stands open. There are metal frames outside with skeins of wet yarn hanging to drain. The yarn is all in shades of turquoise.

A pan full of what will become Kinky Fisher on our corriedale-mohair 4ply base. It feels good to be back in the Dye Works after a hiatus of about a month! #HandDyedYarn #EweAndPlyCorrieMo
A stainless steel bainmarie pan is shown full of skeins of fine yarn, slightly tumbled around, with random patches of apricot orange, turquoise and pale blue.

Sunshine! Such a lovely day, a perfect day in fact, for visiting all your lovely little local shops. And if one if those happens to be a yarn shop, well it would be rude not to… #ShopLocal #LoveYourLYS

Tunisian Crochet progress. Doesn’t look like much, but that is because I had to rip it back to nothingness because it would have been 4” too big. TC gauge is something else!
A strip of pink and green crochet rests against a khaki trouser leg.

I should be putting away a delivery of West Yorkshire Spinners yarns. What I am doing is using WYS Colour Lab to fool around with Tunisian crochet in the round. It’s still work though, right? #OopsICastOnAgain
A coil of pink and green crochet stitches lie on a wooden surface with a wooden crochet hook attached.
