I don't think I shared my latest tension square for my elf coat. I took the advice I got here and made a much bigger square so I could take a stitch count from the middle of the square. I even blocked it to get a proper idea of what it would look like when made.

Thank you to the people who helped me. Longer blog post incoming.

Well, the swift arrived, at last. 10 flipping days to come from London! I should have just got one from Amazon, but I don't want to use them anymore.

It's rickety and bent, but for nearly £10 (about 12€/$) I can't really complain. It'll get my skeins wound up properly and I can finally make a start on this coat.

I ordered a swift the other week after my disastrous attempt at making a cake (of yarn, smart arse!) without one. It's been in delivery limbo for a week now with no update. It would have been quicker to have it sent by carrier pigeon! Never use Evri, they suck so much balls it's unreal! And when I try and get somewhere with "chat" (read useless AI), all I get is "hmm, we'll look into it". 😡

Made it to the Waltham Abbey Wool Show. I've never felt more underdressed than I feel now. Most people are wearing their crafted tops or products, and I'm wearing a boring t-shirt.

Lots of beautiful yarn though!

[me, whilst cooking lunches for the week] "ooh, I should wind up one of those skeins so I can start my swatch!"

"*Pff* I'm sure it'll be fine!"

"Ok, I need to get a swift 🥴

This weekend is my local yarn show. I look forward to going, but I also worry I'll come out with a load of new hobbies and too much yarn. 😂
