Oh poor little dear!! I hope he did okay this weekend.

Congratulations!!!

Gah!!! Congrats!!

"it's just a whole arse thing"?

Carmy? 👀👀👀

Big hugs!! 💖💖💖

This is 2 bumps of the 2023 batch of black lambswool roving from @shepherdessofbs.bsky.social featuring wool from sheeps named Lanolin Del Ray and Elizabeth Woolen, spun on my darkest spindles.

It's been just the spin I needed to work through some stuff/darkness in the last few weeks 🖤

Lanolin Del Ray and Elizabeth Woolen 🖤

Alternate title: the dark (half) sisters

Alternate title: I'm running out of ways to photograph an array of spindles

Alternate title: our philodendron is trying to colonize my spin corner

Haven't you heard, little baby sheep, that "lambs will be lambs" doesn't fly anymore??

Legendary.

I have another bump to go of this roving and I am debating if I want to continue with my dark dark spindles, or if I want to strive towards some light.

Still spinning through these dark days, with you in fear and defiance 🖤

This deep dark spin brought to you by the finest purveyor of deep dark fleeces, the @shepherdessofbs.bsky.social herself. This is the 2023 black lamb roving featuring Lanolin Del Ray and Elizabeth Woolen.

I'm about to swoon like a Victorian lady in a too tight corset. What.

Oh Erin, I'm so sorry.

I'm fully ready for Ramilton's silver fox years. You probably look forward to getting more lambs out of him first but I. Am. Ready.

Take it on the chin babe 🤪

Not the Melly batts on the bottom?? The handspun?? I am very very flattered

Design by @samanthaguerin.bsky.social handspun from @helloyarn.bsky.social (all bark and no bite) and @mellyknits.bsky.social (firefly sommelier club)

@tangledstarlight.bsky.social asked to see my Grid Gambit WIP so now the world knows... There's genuine sorcery happening in this colour progression and I could not have planned for this in a million years!

Hold my coffee

All crafting choices are valid choices 🙌🏼

Getting a Romeldale lamb to this level of smoothness takes real dedication 🙌

I can almost never bear plying things together so you know what my vote is!!

I wasn't resisting, I spun for it right away but I've become *dramatic pause* a monogamous knitter *cue psycho music*

Heyyyy late-to-the-grid-gambit-party-buddies! I cast on last night 🙌

... or even a sweater.

Endless appreciation for Amanda for being an exceptional friend and human being, and endless endless thankfulness for the magic that Mindy and Carl bring into the corporeal world for us to delight in.

I cannot describe adequately in words how much I enjoyed the magic and wonder of this process. I can only tell you that I emerged from my enchanted walk in the dark woods with 368yds of 3 ply in heavy DK and that I intend to blend up more dark green batts so I can stretch this into a large shawl...

🧵 These battlings were part of a set w the Treebeard Phang (photo 1 fourth from the left) that my friend @mountain.knits.bsky.social helped me pick up at Rhinebeck. I used the most mystical and woodland-y of my Woodland Woodworking spindles to complete the spin.
