Marsha's Projects

Deer Scarf: Finished! Ben and his roommates rescued a concrete deer lawn ornaments. I made a red scarf for the deer to wear this holiday. Including fringe, the scarf is about 9' long.

Socks: Using Red Heart Heart and Sole in colorway Black Jack. Finished first sock and knitting on leg of the second sock.

Mountain High: Heidi Kirrmaier. Using my handspun Flowers From My Garden. I decided to put the body on waste yarn and knit the sleeves. Of course color work is different because sleeve circumference is smaller than body. Occasionally breaking yarn to manage color.

Sheridan Flats Spinning: Purchased 24 oz of 80/15/6 wool/mohair/silk roving in the colorway Kaleidoscope. The owner said to spin at a worsted weight for best results. Mill is Olympic Yarn & Fiber located in Cosmopolis, WA. I've filled two bobbins to date.

Rag Rugs: Wound warp for four rag rugs and yesterday started warping loom. Warp will be 4" and 6" stripes in royal blue, green, and orange.

Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress.

Kelly's Projects

Natural Dyeing Experiments

I started spinning the orange CA Red fiber dyed with toyon that had been steeped for 24 hours.

Spirit Yarn Hat #9 is finished. I did some free style color work with the rest of the white and the bright pink. Made Xs and Os and some border designs. Solid pink hat #8 and color work hat #9 were both gone in two days.

Finished two chenille rugs. Still have warp, but no more chenille. I need to figure out the best way to use up the remaining warp (weft-faced rug, resley for towels?) and then make more chenille for more of these rugs.

Started my Sleeveless Vest by Lone Kjeldsen with handspun from Jazzman, "Judith says perfect fleece." I've finished the bottom ribbing, the lateral stitch and I'm a couple inches into the body ribbing.

Home-A-Long

October 1st to December 31st

Make a home decor item in your craft of choice…knitting, crocheting, weaving, or any way "you can think of to play with string."

Recent ideas: pumpkins in the bundle, lots of gnomes in the thread, two Lindas in PA are both making Christmas ornaments, and Autumn is making a bunting with swatches. WEFT magazine has a whole issue out devoted to items for the table.

Winter Weave-a-long

Now through March 31
