Hi, It has been a hot couple of days here in northern Tasmania. Melting hot. Things are slowing down for the end of the year but also getting more busy with Christmas preparations and other fun stuff. I didn't let the heat stop me from recording when I had the opportunity today. I always enjoy sharing my knitting, dyeing and other crafting with you so it was totally worth it!  Things are a bit busy around here so there will not be links this time around. Please have a look in Ravelry for info about my projects and feel free to send me a message if you have any questions. Thank you, Hanna (RosehipChick on Ravelry and Instagram)
