Nearly there with my hoodie - just need to enclose this i-cord in the hood and I can get it blocked in time for the winter break! We're planning a good few walks so I'm looking forward to having an extra cosy layer (with a bit of sparkle ✨).

Glad finally to have bound off the body of my hoodie. Two sleeves and a hood to go...

The Scottish Traditional Music Archive Directory is now live! 🥳

The directory brings together organisations in and outside Scotland with collections of Scottish traditional music.

Users can identify collection holders, find information on their catalogues, get in touch with them, and compare collections from different organisations.

I always wear hand-knits for big work things - it gives me a wee bit more confidence. So for today's launch of the Scottish Traditional Music Archive I wore my Effervescent jumper by Aimee Sher.

Finished - Shawlshank Redemption, in all its 66" of glory.

Been making some good progress on my new cast on - a comfy hoodie for the colder months. I wasn't sure about the gold to start with so put a lifeline in in case I want to chop it off, but now the body is growing and it's less intense I'm happier with it.

Finally made it to the cast-off edge of my Shawlshank Redemption. I've almost used up all the white yarn I had remaining from my last project, but reckon I only have enough left for either one more rib row or the cast-off - trying to decide whether to finish now with a white BO in pattern, or add a tiny bit more length and do a blue/silver contrast tubular BO.
