What a lovely lovely lovely @jarbontextiles Mill Open Weekend!
.
Yarn, friends, dogs, hats, more yarn, more dogs, incredible knotwork walking sticks, cake and more dogs. Thanks to everyone who stopped by my table, @knitithookit my super table neighbour and @tinyfibrestudio my yarn and tea enabler. Pictured among the many dogs are lovely friends @thismustbesonja and her cheeky Jacob brooch, and @hatalinesknits with her puppy pal Mia. Oh and I didn't buy the deerstalker because yarn.
Four new friends will be joining my brooch lineup for the @jarbontextiles Mill Open Weekend this Saturday and Sunday, and will be in my shop next week!

Clockwise from top left: Zwartbles, Greyface Dartmoor, Exmoor Horn and Welsh Mule (or, as @knitithookit's autocorrect has forever dubbed him, Welsh Mike!)
Yes, I made a new dress but who cares, my dog is cuter.

No, this is not the green dress I was planning. I didn't buy enough lining fabric so I made this one while waiting for the post. It's the same dress though. I'm not bored of this pattern yet and not sure I ever will be.

The pattern is a modification of View P from Formal & Little Black Dress by Yoshiko Tsukiori. It's in Japanese but if, like me, you don't read that language but you have some dressmaking knowledge the instructions are clear enough. I lengthened the bodice, skirt and added pockets, plus a touch of lace on the sleeves. There are no darts and no pleats and (best of all) no zip!
Hi
Really enjoyed watching your second podcast. The bunny dress looks really nice. I am looking forward to seeing how your jumper and skirt turn out.
Hi
I’m really enjoying your podcasts and have watched all three. I’m looking forward to seeing how your jumper and skirt turn out. I think Jack is very sweet.
