Welcome

Hello,

A stitcher, maker, occasional printmaker and dyer, I’m inspired by handmade textiles. From African batik and mud prints to neat Japanese geometrics and vintage linens, I share the joy by creating small kits and packs.

Sunset at Erfoud
A long but wonderful journey from Fes to Erfoud today, over the eastern part of the High Atlas range. 
Stunning scenery, rock formations, gorges. 
Donkeys, camels, monkeys.
Also snow on the ground. 
Also desert. 
In the date capital of Morocco tonight!

It has taken me quite a while to get here (years tbh) but I’ve finally made it to Morocco. 
Only been here a whirlwind few hours but i know it ain’t going to disappoint 🤗

Not finished my current sweater knit but I caught sight of two generous skeins of #dundaga_yarn in my stash and couldn’t help myself and wound the first one.
I bought them from Iveta @balticknitsscotland - so difficult to choose between all her glorious colour combinations!
I can’t cast on a new project till I finish t’other one (my rules) but the shades are calling me🤗

Moody skies on my walk with the bold boy this afternoon.
Lovely but I’ll be glad when the days stretch a bit further🌙

Just out of the oven. First loaves with some malted organic flour from Dorset, no less.
The chances of one of these ‘losing’ a crust before the evening is out are very high…

A few more stitches before I head out into rainy Monday.
Simple pleasures.
More to come as I’m off to meet friends and put the world to rights over coffee. 

If only we really could😣
