These definitely deserve an actual photoshoot but I'm never gonna do that, so here's the usual 'pulled over to take pictures briefly'. Finally got my gloves back to a wearable and warm state after a couple weeks of darning (hard to call them done; im sure theyll need more work in the future). There wasn't any damage really, just severe thinning from wear, so it was a much faster mend than it could have been.
The gloves are suffolk wool naturally dyed by myself with horse chestnut hulls, prepared and spun by myself, then knit into gloves with my own pattern. The mending yarn is also entirely handspun scrap, with some of it being naturally dyed as well.
One of the gloves lost some length (or at least I think it did; there's no way it would have taken me this long to notice they're different sizes if I just made them that way); the only real difference between the two gloves is that I mended the longer one with my darning loom and the other by hand after getting annoyed with the loom. So I guess my tension by hand left something to be desired. It's not noticeable when they're on me though, so I don't care very much. No longer matching in exact size is a small price to pay for gloves that are much warmer and also look very cool B)
Additionally, they are acting slightly as hand compression gloves now, due to the fact that the woven darning doesn't stretch as much as the knit gloves. It's strong upon blocking but does stretch out with wear--interesting though. I've not had luck with medical grade hand compression gloves, so I'm curious about knitting or weaving a dedicated pair, now.

It’s finally all finished!

What a journey this shawl has been! I planned the whole thing and ordered the fibre in september, it arrived at the end of October, I spun it in January, started knitting the shawl three weeks ago and now it’s done! I’m so incredibly proud of it. I wish it had more beading throughout but that’s my own fault for not reading the whole pattern before starting. The colours, as usual, are impossible to capture because iphone cameras hate dark colours (I really need to get a proper camera). But it’s so soft and shiny too. Merino is not my favourite on its own, but these merino/silk batts were just a dream.
Anyway, shawl is in the shop! You can find it here

I took my frog to the library with me for my craft group, the women loved him and one kept putting flowers on his head, now I need to make him some flowers to wear!

behold my latest fo!
I finally turned the Cursed Handspun into a thing! (I made a whole sweater with this, then realized I hated it, frogged it. Started another sweater, frogged it. Started a cardi and, you guessed it. 🐸 Then it sat in the stash for a few years. Was lange währt...)
Pattern is Outlandish Bodice by bron matheson, available for free! Unfortunately it comes in only a very limited size range. Fortunately, if you're like me and not doing the fitted version, it's a seamless modular knit and basically just rectangles, so it's very easily adjustable.
Mine closes with lacing because I was too lazy to sew in the 500 billion hooks and eyes the pattern calls for. I could have made it with a tiny bit more negative ease, but it's fine and overall I'm happy with it.
