February Crafting Update and March Goals
February goals Pictures Skeins of yarn that were sitting around, light grey and brown/black for tablet weaving. Those were sitting on bobbins in the way, so I skeined them to clear them off. I want to get a cone winder at some point because they should be on cones. The blue is the chain plyed […]
January Crafting Update and February G
January goals Mittens from Moorit Magazine Issue 1, really great patterns, I’m working from a chart. Going to start the second one shortly so I don’t end up with only one mitten. Weaving!

Things that occurred this week
