33 // Slow Making & New Beginnings -Jessica McDonald, Elenor Mortensen testknits, spinning & weaving

Wow! The last couple of weeks have been extremely busy but lots of fun! Today I have some test knits to share, some smaller projects and some new-to-me crafts. I went along to another little crafty yarn festival and I have got plenty to share today. Also, I am delighted to launch the summer MAL today :) I hope you enjoy joining me today for lots of crafty goodness! X x x

MBMThriftyMAL25
Beginning 1st June and ending 30th September 2025 ALL CRAFTS ARE WELCOME! All previously owned or free patterns are welcome (there is a link to a bundle of suggestions in the MBM group on Ravelry https://www.ravelry.com/groups/madeby...) All crafts are welcome! The point is to spend as little cash as possible :) We are trying to bust some stash so try and shop from your stash if you have one but it is not essential, just encouraged. Have you been gifted some yarn? Do you have a kit you keep meaning to use? A little embroidery decoration you have had for years? A paint by numbers kit covered in dust? Or even a lingering UFO? Perfect! You do not have to finish by MAL end; WIPs and FOs are welcome, just don’t forget to post a pic before the deadline. Double-dipping with other MALs is also fine slightly_smiling_face Everyone is welcome, from newbie to experienced crafters! Please use the tag #MBMTHRIFTYMAL25 on Instagram and tag @moomeeno so I can see all of your beautiful projects You can participate on Ravelry in the MBM group https://www.ravelry.com/groups/madeby... Entries are welcome on Instagram, Ravelry and via email ([email protected]) There will be 3 prizes of local to me yarn and stitch hopefully some other little treats too!
