Marsha's Projects

The Weekender: by Andrea Mowry. Using Cascade 220 in colorway Wine. Finished the sleeves and still have to finish the sewn bind off on the back neckline. I need some solitude to do this but there has been none available this past month.

Socks: Wisdom Yarns Wacki Saki Finished.

Spinning: Into the Whirled roving in colorways Welcome to Litchfield and The Traveler. Finished! 573 yards. About finger weight.

Socks: Using Patons Kroy sock in the colorway Blue Striped Ragg. I discovered the balls are only 160 yards. Adding red heels and toes with Cloudborn Fibers Superwash Sock Twist from Craftsy. Was a giveaway at Stitches a few years ago. Halfway done on the foot of the first sock.

Spinning: Started spinning another combo spin. Fiber from Pat Eisner that she put in the destash room at NoCKRs. Have spun two skeins of yarn, 660 yards total and about worsted weight.

Kelly's Projects

Izzy doll bears progress: I continue to make the tubes and have stuffed four of them. I have two others finished but unstuffed, and a fourth on the needles.

Sidewalk loom progress: Cloth apron is on and the rods are secured with texsolv. The back beam has five texsolv cords and I'm thinking I need a couple more. I finally cleaned up the reed and put it into the beater. I've washed and will reuse the texsolv cords used to tie up the treadles. I think I will cut a few more for spares and while I am at it I should cut some for the LeClerc tie up, too. The sticking point is going to be stabilizing the right side of the loom between the castle and the back beam, but I hope to have this loom ready to warp soon!

Finished the skein of Wensleydale x Cormo x Merino with the silk spun into it. I started this at the NoCKRs retreat in April with some leftover fiber I found from a previous project. I will use it for an accent color when I knit with the original project yarn.

New Projects:

Tablet weaving to make an armband for dog shows and name plates for each dog's crate. I'm using a makeshift warp weighted set up using clamps to hold my work in place and a variety of things attached to the warp to hold my tension as the warp hangs over something handy. I have one part of the armband completed, need to make another one of those and then do the names. Pattern has only lower case letters so I may need to do a little drafting to get the capital B for the dog names. Using Linda Henrickson's pattern from my Handwoven library. Pattern can also be found on her website here and then click "free instructions."

Fireweed Sock number one is almost done. I am ready to start the toe of the sock. I love the way the colors are striping.

Spinning the 2018 CVM that I've been carding since November. I have two bobbins and I'm about to start the third. I'll card more of that fiber before I start the third bobbin so I can continue with the mostly blue-green fiber.

Summer Spin In

Now until September 1. All spinning and making with handspun yarn counts. Preparing fleeces also counts. Let's go!
