Drool!   :love:
Don't listen to the money men - they know the price of everything and the value of nothing

Live in a cohousing community with small farm for our own use.  Dairy cows (rearing their own calves for beef), pigs, sheep for meat and fleece, ducks and hens for eggs, veg and fruit growing

That is wonderful Buttermilk  :trophy:  so beautifully executed.  It makes me want to give up my pathetic efforts.

That's beautiful and unusual for being dark.  Must have been really difficult to see the stitches.
We're always too self-critical with our handwork, there's not that many people would have the patience.
 I heard someone complaining to an indie dyer that fingering weight yarn took too long to knit an adult sweater and she should only dye DK.

Using a head torch made the stitches easy to see :)

Having just started my first ever lace weight scarf I am lost in admiration.
