Last port on our recent cruise was Olden, Nordfjord. 4th visit but will never tire of it. This time we did a Lovatnet cruise & Kendal glacier with waffles at Kenndalstova. Stunning place, lovely people. #Norway #cruise #Olden #Kjenndalsbreen #Lovatnet #photosky #fjords #kjenndalstova #nature #travel
This week #showmeyourknits is all about #chunky I don't often knit chunky, other than with my handspun yarn. This yarn is a handspun 2ply and is a blend of Alpaca, Merino d'Arles & Polwarth wool. Pattern is Capucine by Adela Illichmanova. #knitsky #handspun #fibrearts #spinsky
Great visit to Castle Howard Arboretum today. Much needed immersion in nature. Also great inspiration for some new handspun art yarn, might be busy this week! #castlehowardarboretum #trees #funghi #naturesky #autumncolours
Art yarn mini skeins with beehive coils are some of my favourites to spin. These are merino with added viscose nepps, and have a slightly tweedy appearance and texture. Great as accent yarns in knitting or weaving projects. #knitsky #spinsky #artyarn #handspun #etsy

Ålesund was a new port to me this time, and a welcome one. I fell in love with it straight away. We went up Mt Aksla to get the views from the top, popped into a few shops to get some souvenirs and walked up the Brosundet channel to the Molja Lighthouse. #Norway #Ålesund #cruiseholidays #travelsky
Hat week on #showmeyourknits Here is a selection, the first two were made from my own handspun yarn. Woolly Wormhead patterns. #knitsky #handnithats #handspunyarn

When I'm not knitting, I like to spin up heavily textured art yarns. This one was inspired by the ocean and the waterfalls I have seen on my cruises. #spinsky #craftsky #yarnsky #fiberarts #handspinning

Finished watching Tip Toe last night, the latest series from Russell T Davies, who I've been a huge fan of ever since watching Queer as Folk when it aired in 1999. Some very difficult watching in places but highly recommended. #TipToe
