My New Year's resolution ?? To buy more wool ! At the moment my meagre stash will fit into a jute shopping bag, how rubbish is that?! I can feel the sympathy......Never fear, WOW reopen very soon....

Not for me! I intend to buy no wool at all this year. Reorganised my wool studio and discovered a lot of stuff I forgot I had it, simply because there is too much. But both are luxury problems so : Happy new year!

Mine is to get more of my plans done. I didn't seem to be able to get anything done last year.

All good wishes to everyone for 2017. So many things I want to do this year, perhaps too many! This post isn't about fibre, but very much fibre related. As this is the start of a New Year, I decided to give my bobbins a new look. Just need a coat of clear acrylic varnish tomorrow. I'm no artist, so these designs are somewhat naive, but they brighten up an otherwise basic wheel.

Great idea Judith! Sometimes you just have to do something different. Happy New Year!

They look super Judith! I love the outlining technique, is it a special paint? Happy New Year to all.
