Where to start? Mavis and Birdie.

Just to be confusing for you, I usually have a number of small projects going at once. So when I update I'll try not to jump in between things too much.
First off, a few weekends ago creative soul sister Merrie (aka Mavis) and I (aka Birdie) went to the Bendigo Sheep and Wool Show, hence our new Nanna like names. Somewhat embarrased to admit it, we had a fantastic time! There was so much to see and we both learnt a lot about the animals, fibre processing, natural fibre dyeing (thanks to some of the ladies at the Spinners Guild of Pasco Vale) and met some really interesting crafts people. So we came home in the car tired, excited, full of ideas and bags full of goodies.
So the first thing that I was able to put on my To-Do list was to knit Merrie a neck warmer with some beautiful fibre she picked out from Ixchel. Most likely I could and will go on a bit more later about Charly McCafferty's fibres and how jealous I am of her fibre farm, but her products are amazing quality, beautifully spun, lovingly collected and all naturally dyed.
The fibre that Merrie picked out was Handspun Yak, Alpaca and Angora Bunny.

Knitting this blend of fibres was beautiful, it's like it has its own little lovely personality and when you hold it, you really feel like your being loved, which sounds crazy. It's nice to think that people could feel the love that you put into the things you make.
