In which I go for a walk along the beach and learn about myself, spin some angora and love it, talk a little about cotton for Level 4, make a little more progress on my current projects, get the Auto Knitter back together but not yet knitting, and move the frame on the Accolade. Thanks for listening!

Fibre Week
Fibre Notes
- Grinsheep Fibre Productions, where my wedding shawl fibre came from.
- In the Night Garden by Lidia Zigninova – the pattern for my wedding shawl!
- Vanilla Latte Socks by Virginia Rose-Jeanes – nice sock pattern with a little bit of fun to keep interest.
- Rav link to Estelle Sock Twins Multi, the yarn I’m using for the Vanilla Latte socks.
- Electric Eel Wheel Nano.
- Link to a video where I’m trying out Version 1 of Dad’s new spindle kate. Version 2 has cradles for support spindles and a second tension band.
Cranking on the Fibreside
- Some information about the Autoknitter machines.
- This one looks a lot like mine (the before restoration photos).
By The Wayside
- The Accolade kit from Bucilla – so old it’s out of print.
- Based on the painting The Accolade by E.B. Leighton.
