Marsha’s Projects

The Weekender: by Andrea Mowry. Using Cascade 220 in colorway Wine. I haven’t picked it up since I got home from the retreat. Lost my motivation after all the discussion at NoCKRs. Plus I listened to the latest episode of Yarniacs where they discussed Sharlene’s Weekender. Didn’t inspire me. 

Socks: Wisdom Yarns Wacki Saki in the colorway Batty Berlin. Almost done with the leg of the second sock.

Spinning: Into the Whirled roving in colorways Welcome to Litchfield and The Traveler. I’ve finished the two singles and have plied one bobbin. Have a little over 300 yards. Started plying second bobbin.

Weaving Studio: It’s a work in progress. I think I have finally fixed the problem with the brake band falling off. 

Kelly’s Projects

Two more hats (both using a turquoise DK) went to the free table at school. I haven’t checked back to see if they are gone, but the day after I put them there it was in the high 70s. So I switched to Izzy doll bears for my next skein of retreat spirit yarn. It’s a taupe brown color. 

Started another chenille rug warp for making the chenille “caterpillar strips.” As I was about half done I looked in the trunk and found some other spirit yarn I had intended to use for the strips. I used some, but I might have yet another warp of strips to make. I have a lot of weaving spirit yarn. 

Finished a third bobbin of spirit roving from Pat. Still need to ply it to get the wheels empty and ready for the spin in. Gray Corriedale x Merino fiber that is beautifully prepared (Morro Fleeceworks). Shari is still processing fleeces. She is selling the mill but it hasn’t sold yet. Also there is a new fiber mill opening. 

News from Knitadmin Mary is that there is a new small-batch custom wool and fiber mill coming soon to Northern California, Siren Song Fleeceworks. Meredith will be accepting fleeces for custom processing at Fiber Frolic in Vacaville on June 7th. She will also be vending at Lambtown the first weekend in October.

Winter Weave Along

The WWAL has ended. In the thread we had 55 projects linked, 184 pictures, 881 posts, 37 voices, 152 readers.

We announced prizes for six lucky weavers. 

Summer Spin In 

Now until September 1. All spinning and making with handspun yarn counts. Preparing fleeces also counts. Let’s go!
