Marsha's Projects

Emotional Support Chicken: by Annette Corsino. I finished the body but still need to knit wattle and comb. I've been making "rope" with French Knitter and about halfway done. Plan to make a hat and chalk bag. Found tiny carabiners online.

Graphito: by Heidemarie Kaizer. Using Purls Before Swine Robusta in colorways Good Jeans (blue) and Toxic (pink). I finished the yoke and divided for the sleeves. I've knit about an inch of the body but I'm going to wash and block the yoke to be sure it fits and the patterning looks good.

Ames Beanie: Stephanie Larson. Using Purls Before Swine Hometown Worsted in colorway Seaglass. I was about to start the decreases when I noticed I had crossed one of the cables the wrong way. I need to rip back.

Socks: Using Regia 4-fadig by Arne & Carlos in colorway 03760. Finished first sock.

Weaving Studio: I got the warping board back from Kim and everyday plan to wind the warp for four tea towels. Too much Thanksgiving preparation so I didn't get anything done. Maybe today??

Kelly's Projects

The woven squares blanket is almost finished! All the squares are sewn together and I just have a few more ends to weave in. Debating a crochet border edging.

Suint Bath Shetland Project is finished. The two skeins are almost identical. The one that was spun greasy is slightly finer. I think it is easier for a default yarn to be spun thinner when spinning in the grease. But it puffs up when washed and I don't think the skeins are any more different than any two handspun skeins. They could easily be used together in the same project with no problem.

Fleece prep: Dyeing and carding the 2018 CVM. I've been putting batches in the crockpot with random dyeing while I do other things out in the yard. I've also been carding intermittently and have quite a few batts through their first round.

Got down to the back ribbing on the Maple Vest. I won't have enough yarn. Trying to decide what to do. Pattern repeat on the ribbing gives me limited choices for shortening.

Winter Weave Along

Going until March 31. Show us your projects in the Ravelry thread. If you aren't on Ravelry consider joining just so you can talk with us about your weaving!

Challenge: Between now and January 1 do a kind of weaving that you haven't done before. Possibilities:

New to you weave structure, different form of loom, make something you never thought of making before, e.g. decorative braids or shoe laces, use a fiber you haven't used before, use a wet finishing method you haven't used before. End 2024 with a new weaving skill.
