Here's a quick and sweet little mend I completed this morning! A bit rustic, but I think it does the job.

Fall is a great time to get out all your woollens that need repair and get them to the Sassy Spinster! Here are a couple of recent mends.

The socks are super cute, and their companions can be found at kstarcloset!

DM me for details!

And that's a wrap! We destashed our hearts out! Thanks to everyone who came out today, to the vendors (who were all lovely), to Joan at @antigonish_arts_house, and my partner in crime, Gail. That's me with my feet up. Back to knitting socks and spinning dog hair!

Organizing events isn't all sequins and glamour. Sometimes you have to slice up flyers, two at a time, by hand!

Packing for tomorrow's Drop Spindle Drop-in at Chez Nous à - Pomquet - Come Home Days. Please enjoy my ice bucket of drop spindles. I'll be spinning a wool/llama/silk blend, a wool and flax blend, and dog hair. And teaching how to spin yarn on the drop spindle.

Success! Mostly. The good news is: four completed drop spindles for Saturday. Yay! Bad news: I snapped the hook on the fifth with my superhuman strength! Sigh... I'll be teaching folks how to spin yarn with these drop spindles at Chez DesLauriers on Saturday, from 5 to 7pm. Check out Chez Nous à - Pomquet - Come Home Days for more info! by @sassy.spinster
