Finished Objects

Erica finished sewing a new Persian Robe out of purple and fuscia handwoven twill fabric!

TJ finished weaving off the warp on his rigid heddle loom! Erica will be warping the loom up again for lessons for other kids in the SCA here in the UK and Europe.

WIP's

Erica is working on thank you gifts for her upcoming Laurel elevation ceremony. She has woven wool cloth for her Laurel Robe of Honor and is using the rest to make the covers of needle case books! She has warped the loom for about 15 handwoven hankerchiefs, because she knows of few of her close friends will be crying a lot of tears of joy during the ceremony! :)

Erica has been working on another pair of socks for TJ.

Erica and Michelle talk projects and TV recommendations. Feel free to share your own recommendations in the comments of this episode's show notes.

Finished objects:

Michelle has been working on macrame plant hangers.

This teardrop white one is a shape that she likes, but the execution of the bottom is not quite right. 

She finished this orange plant hanger, but hasn't put a plant in it yet.

Works in Progress

Michelle is working on a version of the white teardrop in blue, without the tassel on the bottom. She learned how to make other plant hangers without tassels but is working on figuring out how to make this kind on her own.

Second pair of hand knit socks!

Damask trim

Works in Progress

Duelling Club Fingerless Mitt two from Knitting Magic. Erica has had quite the journey knitting this pair of fingerless mitts. It has taught her a lot and has been quite fun and funny!

The journey even including making her own "circular needles".

Erica really appreciates the spining her friend Julian and Kristin have done. She is having a blast winding the warp and looks forward to weaving cloth that they will share!

Finished objects:

Michelle has been crocheting. She made a griffin and a phoenix for her daughters.

Technically the griffin is still a work in progress as I forgot to attach her tail. 

For Halloween, in the interest of distancing, I made my daughters "floating" witch hats. We didn't have costumes for them, so they wore their Harry Potter robes from a couple years ago. That way, I could make these hats where it might look like they were casting "Wingardium Leviosa" on them. 

Michelle bought this cross stitch pattern for her daughter a couple years ago but decided to do it herself when her daughter didn't. She's glad her daughter has since picked out something else as this one has way too much gold thread, which can be difficult to work with. She still needs to get it framed.

Erica and Oli installed a new kitchen door! Hurray!

Erica also finished her Ginny Cardigan! What?! She is in love with this cardigan, she shawl collar is the length she wanted and it fits beautifully!

Erica finished her cotton underdress, the only thing it needs is the have the very inside seams turned over and sewn down.

Works in Progress:

Erica is working on the second pair of socks for herself.

She's also working on a hat for her dad for the holidays! This hat is being knit from her own handspun yarn.

Finally she has woven a damask sample to show to Her Highness Rogned. Her Highness loves the design and Erica will be weaving the trim in this design. Her Highness noted that the bottom is  a bit flat, so Erica has taken out the first line of the design and the crescents round out really well.

Finally Erica's spin direction study project is on hold after discovering she spun and plied one  of the yarns in the same direction! Whaw, whaw, whaw! :(

Finished objects.

Previously, Michelle talked about how her daughter was weaving a rug. Her younger daughter also wants to weave one, but all we had left was white rug yarn. So we dyed it. It's red, fuschia and purple.

Works in Progress:

Michelle did some spinning. This was roving dyed back in her Washtenaw Wool dyeing days.
