Ethics of Cotton and Sheepjes Shawl
Reporting back on my Sheepjes Whirl Shawl which is now finished and discussing the ethics of cotton and yarn production. The pattern is A Stormy Sky by Life is Cozy and it's been knitted up in the Lavenderlicious colourway from Sheepjes. I also report back on the information from Scheepjes about their eco-credentials and then discuss how I'm feeling about yarn production issues in general.

Quest for Shampoo Bars (and Photobombing)
So it's the quest for a shampoo bar, which is turning into a saga, being photobombed (or should that be videobombed) and an update on why there was no video last week. As always I can't thank my online friend enough for their support and encouragement with this channel. You guys rock (in a good way).

I take a look at the most common On Package Recycling Labels (OPRL) to help you make an informed choice for recycling and low impact living.

Knots in Scheepjes Whirl - I HATE KNOTS!
