i mentioned a meetup very briefly yesterday. for those of you who know about me through solely knitting venues, i’m also heavily involved in the creation of a webseries, the platoon of power squadron. we have a smallish (by youtube standards) but fantastically loyal following. when we were in london, we had our first meetup ever, which was kind of scary (beforehand), and pretty fantastic (during and after).
anyways, it doesn’t frequently happen that PoPS world and my knitting world overlap, but one of the girls who came to the meetup brought me a lovely fiber-y present!
she brought me a skein of her own handspun! (i’m thinking rikke, perhaps? i definitely want to do the handspun justice!)
we had a mini tweet conversation a couple weeks ago when, as you may remember, i accidentally tore a hole in a freshly finished cowl, and i tweeted my frustration and self-pity, and she discovered that i do not own a darning mushroom.
thank you, kim!!!
in case you’re curious, she has a blog: art equals happy, and she sells her handspun and some of her illustration work (i really like her postcards!). check it out!
The yarn is so gorgeous!!
Those postcards are awesome. So creative!
Mmm! I vote for Rikke. This looks and sounds like it was a really amazing trip!
gorgeous! i love my darning mushroom, so useful!
need to get some of kim’s wool for myself! my spinning is nowhere near her standard!

That is truly stunning handspun, and a darning mushroom?! I had no idea such wonders existed! I want one now.
