Episode 50 of the Marina Skua podcast – Summer Scrumpers, a slightly sentimental spinning project, and a garden update

In which I discover that my Scrumper Waistcoat design can be worn as a summer top (so I'm knitting another one!), and do a little bit of fibre prep (pre-drafting a batt) for a special hand-spun yarn project.

Show notes:
I'm wearing my Scrumper Waistcoat. The yarn is John Arbon Textiles Appledore DK in Dufflin; they have yarn kits available. I'm knitting my second version in yarn from  @kattweaver 

The cardigan I'm designing is in Marina Skua Mendip 4-Ply in Teal (Cloudy)

I'm planning to use the grey yarn I'm spinning for a Mistland Cardigan.

The batt I'm preparing is from Sealy MacWheely. The two lots of combed tops are from John Arbon Textiles again, Devonia in Sage Sprig and a limited edition called Nasturtium.
