If any of you subscribe to Berocco Knitbits you may have already seen Humphrey, but what you may not realise is I am one of the designer's that Norah Gaughin met on Ravelry.
Basically I joined the Norah Gaughin fans group in Ravelry, and since Norah was a member there I decided to add her to my friends. When Norah added me to her friends I sent her a message thanking her, and telling her how much I love her work, and next thing you know I'm crocheting another little bear, like the one I made last year, and I'm writing up the pattern for Berocco, all thanks to Ravelry!
Actually that reminds me I didn't get around to stitching that second bear up, that would be another FO for this year!
There is a little knitting going on, I am knitting cakes for a window display for an Art Gallery and Cake Shop opening early May. I am desperate to start 'something' but that something eludes me at the moment, and I'm feeling a little lost.
There is also a little dyeing going on (pictured), I had a small order to supply a local Crafts Website with some handpainted fibre in 5 colourways, these are 50g bundles for feltmaking!
And there's been a little spinning going on!
I was attempting to spin a 3 ply sock yarn, although it's a little on the thick side, and wouldn't do a pair of socks. This is my first 3ply, and it needs a little work, I'm not sure how I feel about it, but I'll keep practicing!

How exciting! :0) I love your dyeing, and the 3 ply looks great. I'm mentally trying to get used to the idea of a 3-ply, but am still a ways from actually trying it!
Your 3 ply looks fantastic!
Hey! I get the Berocco newsletter and saw those little critters! and they're yours!!!
I also read Norah's blog (although I'm usually too shy to comment, she being a Designer.... (I also won her Vol.1 collection book from the Berocco site, how's about that?)
But how positively cool for you!!!!!
(I'm just squealing like a little piglet over here for you!)
For heavens sake... your fibre braids are Gorgeous, as always!
I love the dyes that you come up with Jo. I'm excited for you! Happy weekend!
Jo, I am so pleased for you and how exciting is that?? I just love the 3ply yarn you have spun up, the colour is my absolute favourite, I am always drawn to it.
Great news Humphrey!
And the dyed fibre looks awesome!
Oh how cool, well done you!
Your sock yarn looks great too.
