Welcome

May/June Crafting Update and July Goals

So I completely forgot to do my June goals. To be fair, I was slightly busy.

May/June goals

  • weave tablet weaving project
  • spin final third of purple roving – done before I moved! And I literally finished plying it yesterday
  • comb romney fleece – still in progress
  • wash as many fleeces as possible – got two done, building drying rack this week
  • crochet socks – finished!

Purple!

Two bobbins filled to three ply yarn that is a lovely dark purple.

Socks photographed very badly!

A pair of crocheted socks is sitting on a wood floor, the socks are a gradient from pink at the toes to dark purple at the ankles. The photo is badly lit, there is too much sunshine.

July goals

  • Spin something – I have exchanged spinning wheels with a friend and I want to fiddle with her wheel since it seems to be cranky and not spinning correctly. maybe go wild and spin something on my electrical wheel that is thicker
  • Skein purple yarn – it’s a pound of yarn and it took me so long to ply and now I need to skein it. ugh. someday I will own a skein winder.
  • build fleece drying rack – I need to buy lumber but should be a fast build and then I can get back to washing the alpaca fleeces
  • comb romney fleece – I really want to finish this! 
  • crochet – keep working on the handspun shawl I started,  it’s very pretty
  • knitting – sweater? socks again? I doubt it but lets see
