#AlphabetChallenge #weekQ That pesky letter Q has been a challenge. The pony is sporting an impressing Quiff. That's my story and I'm sticking to it.

Armed with wool, needles and hooks, dexterous moviegoers flock to a cinema in Vienna every month to combine their favourite hobbies: knits and flicks.

My latest knit is this little sweater made with handspun Irish alpaca. It's one of a kind, designed on the go. The stranded pattern is based on an Anatolian pattern. #knitting #handspinning #alpaca

It's always an honour when you get trusted to knit with another's handspun wool. Blue Texel, Zwartbles and Galway Wool spun by Seamus Kirwan. Sheep sweater designed and knitted by me. Pictures mine. Sheep breed examples. #knitting #spinningwool #bluetexel #zwartbles #galwaysheep #irishgrownwool

What I did during the long days and nights with no power after #stormEowyn. Carded and spun wool from local Galway sheep by candlelight. #wool #irishwool #galwaywool #galwaysheep #candlelight #liketheolddays #handspinning #fibercraft #spinningwheel

I love making wearable items from local wool. The sheep are the neighbour's lovely Blue Texel sheep and the sweater I made from their wool.
