**SPOILER ALERT - SWIPE TO SEE THE BONUS CLUE** G

**SPOILER ALERT - SWIPE TO SEE THE BONUS CLUE**

Good morning everyone! Just before I set off for work, I wanted to share my completed bonus clue for the Westknits MKAL 💜 The purple colour skein here is Burns' Night and I think it's my favourite in this project 😍 So excited to start the next part later, but first I probably should gulp down this coffee and head off to the hospital. Hope you all have fab Mondays! ☕

Evening is coming earlier today! It's been quite overcast most of today here in Greenwich, but the sun is out now and I'm making the most of it while catching up with my Slipstravaganza. I'm still on the bonus clue, but I don't want to rush as I know I'll end up making mistakes! I think it might be time for a cuppa before I settle down here ☕ Happy Sunday everyone 💙

Is it just me, or is this week feeling extra long?

Is it just me, or is this week feeling extra long? 😜 As we are still in Socktober, I thought I'd share my slow progress on my Comet Sock while I have a little nip 🥃 If you bought the Silent Night yarn from West Yorkshire Spinners, you'll have this pattern too and it's by our lovely Christine over at @winwickmum 💙 This is a lace panel sock and the yarn has a lovely sparkle to it. The pattern isn't too difficult, but it's a definite step up from a basic sock pattern! To keep in with the sparkle, I'm using my new needle keeper from @atomicknitting too ✨ I'm starting to feel a tad Christmassy after all this....I better put the whisky down 😂

Today has been a bit of a mixed bag. You know those types of headaches that aren't migraines, but make you useless? Well, that was most of my day, but this evening has seen it clear and I decided to finish the indie rounds on my Karoo Vintage MAL which is of course by the lovely Jen over at @hooksntales 💜 The detail in the corners really is incredible and I was grateful for the videos to keep me on track 😄 I hope everyone has had a fun and relaxing Saturday!

***SPOILER ALERT - SWIPE TO SEE CLUE ONE***

Good evening everyone! I've finally finished clue one of the Westknits MKAL Slipstravaganza in my Skein Queen yarns 💙 I do have to Kitchener the last stitches, but that will be tomorrow as I'm too tired to do that right now 😜 I'll be starting the bonus clue tomorrow! If you're debating casting this one on, I have to say it's a really fun knit and I'm so happy with my yarn too. It's so soft and I like the more gentle contrast they have together.

It's Sunday, so that means Día de los Muertos CAL

It's Sunday, so that means Día de los Muertos CAL! Here's my shrunken version, sticking to Mark's colours as much as possible. I've made one skull, but I think I might be best waiting now to see how they attach to make sure the size is ok. I've gone down to a 0.9mm hook for the skull as the pattern reduces the hook size by a third and I'm not sure if I can get a 0.83333mm hook 😜 I think I have a 0.8mm somewhere, but I'm too lazy to look 🐨 Anyway, this was a fabulously fun, fiddly piece, so I hope this size will be ok! 💙

The first clue for the Westknits MKAL Slipstravaga

The first clue for the Westknits MKAL Slipstravaganza has dropped! So excited for this! My yarn is wound and I'm ready to go 😄 I'm using Skein Queen's Selkino base, which is 70% superwash merino and 30% silk in Abyss, Burns' Night, Monterey Bay and April Showers. Peaking out at the back is my new yarn bowl which I found on Etsy and it's a perfect size 💛 Right my lovely Instafriends, I'm off to cast on! Happy Friday!

**Just to note that I will share my progress towards the end of next week to avoid any spoilers on my page**

Yay we have a #yarnfriendsrock prompt today, which is #autumn 🍁🍂 It's been such a dull day today so I've been reminiscing about trips to warmer climes and then coming home, I needed to put a few more rounds in my Equinox Square, which takes me back to Morocco. I love the colours of the Stonewashed yarn from Scheepjes, they are so warm 😄

Two posts in one day - sorry! This had to be done

Two posts in one day - sorry! This had to be done though, didn't it? I had to make a miniature version of the Día de los Muertos CAL, didn't I? I am using my Scheepjes Sugar Rush threads and a 1.25mm hook to shrink this down and I think it will make a nice size centrepiece for the table. This is the central flower and in the next few weeks, we will build up the skulls and decorate them too. A few years ago, we were in Oaxaca for this festival and I thought it would be a subdued affair, but I couldn't have been more wrong! It was an incredible time to be there 💜 If you want to crochet along, the CAL is hosted by Mark @theguywiththehook on both Ravelry and his website if you can no longer use Rav. It's a brilliantly written pattern, so do check it out!
