Friday Randomly Sharing

Friday, 6 November 2015

Happy Friday everyone! Welcome to FRS where I share what has caught my eye recently - but where you could also share what has interested you - so please make full use of the comment box!

- More and more projects are being finished, and thanks to the lovely weather here in Britain (couldn't it get more grey, seriously?) no pictures have been taken. All I am left with is starting a new project. I will test knit Pokiha for Libby - and at the same time test knit Blacker Yarns (from the pictures) so expect reviews soon. 

- I am sure a lot of you have, like me, either favourited or knitted color affection by Veera Valimaki. I have not knitted it yet, and I am glad, because there is a cool modification that is going round - the color-block-affection. I really like it knitted in this colour palette. I may have a new yarn crash - Madeline Tosh Merino in Moden Fair Isle.

- Apple Cider Sangria, anyone? I reckon it is the perfect transition to mulled wine - and it is vegan, so all fine right!?  

- I have not subscribed yet but I love the look and feel of 6 bits storybooks. I have a few magazines (and back issues) waiting to be read, but a girl cannot have too much reading outstanding. Anyone has subscribed yet?  

- It is always interesting to read sewing tips - some tool basics that are worth keeping in mind. 

- The new Pompom Magazine is out. Julie's review is here. 

- I love the idea of these Bento project bags. I may be looking at making one for myself - who's up for a DIY? 

- I just came across Nomads Clothing - an ethical clothing brand. It is not necessarily my style, but there are a couple of plain tunics that I quite like, and this blouse may have my name on it!

- I have been looking for a tank top pattern for my naturally dyed fabric. I was seriously considering the Wiksten pattern, but now we have a new contender - the Kate Top pattern by Tessuti Fabrics. It comes in two versions, I am tempted...

- Oh I am swooning all right - this knittng pattern will be in pre-order next week. How much knitting can I get done per day?  

- Women empowerment is something I am passionate about. So pleased to have in my feed an article about feminists to be inspired by. Aung San Suu Kyi is definitely one of my favourite feminist. Who inspires you?
