Summary: Hello from a distinctly un-Springlike Cheshire Plain... brrr! <br> <br> On The Needles <br> I've completed the waist decreases on Adrift, but I've decided to lengthen it and add some complimentary increases. Ravelry details of my project are <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/projects/talesfromtheplain/adrift">here</a>. I've also knit and crocheted some bunting triangles for the Guild's bunting, using the <a href="http://www.sheepfold.co.uk/">Sheepfold</a> Clotted Cream I dyed a year ago. <br> <br> <br> Yesterday I cast on a <a href="http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tomten-jacket---child">Tomten</a> by Elizabeth Zimmerman for a new arrival in the family. <br> <br> <br> Oh the Joy! <br> <br> No progress pictures, but I have spun some more purple BFL on the Traddy and more green merino/silk blend on the Joy. The Traddy's had a good scrub down and wax too. <br> <br> Holiday Souvenir Competition <br> <br> We have a winner!
