back to spindle spinning

Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.

What I’m Working On…

: the only crafting project I really worked on this week was a little bit of spinning.

: Saturday I spend the afternoon spindle spinning a sample of alpaca/wool fiber, and as a little bit of an experiment I documented the progress through the afternoon over on Instagram – it was fun photographing the incremental progress, and was a good reminder to stop & take photos of what I’m making as it’s in the process of getting made, so I’m going to try doing more of that in the future – if you’re on Instagram, come say hi!

: then I spindle plied the sample last night, and now it’s resting until I get around to skeining the yarn.

no knitting, no sewing, but a new shawl pattern

Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.

What I’m Working On…

: no knitting & no sewing; I spent a long weekend at TNNA, and that includes much talking time & lots of driving time – which you would think would translate into lots of knitting – but there was none.

: I did pick apart & frog a friend’s sweater (the ends were woven in and everything) – it’s amazing how much more fun frogging is when it’s not your knitting.

: And then because the sweater was knit with two strands of yarn held together, we re-wound each ball to separate the strands (Theresa took a mesmerizing video of it.)

: Also!! The Gauge + Tension shawl collection is available! Come check it out on Ravelry!
