Marsha’s Projects

Socks: The Artful Ewe Clackamas. Finished first sock and about halfway through leg of second sock.

Emotional Support Chicken: by Annette Corsino. I’ve knitted a bit on my chicken. About to start the second stripe.

Poppy Tee: by Jo Cottle. Using Rowan Purelife Revive in the colorway Loam. Picked up in the NoCKRs 2024 destash room. I’ve knit about 10” of 13” total for the body.

Pinot Noir Purchase Targhee: I’ve been spinning the giant (2.2 pound) ball of Targhee roving I bought from an attendee at last fall’s Fort Worden Knitting Retreat. Last episode I talked about how the fiber made me sneeze. I removed the outer layer of roving and started spinning again with no sneezing.

Kelly suggested I dye some of the roving so I’ve dyed 4 oz each burgundy and green. The roving is very thin and delicate. I wound the roving on the knitty noddy and tied it in six places. I tied the roving more tightly than I would for yarn, but I wanted to be sure the weight of the water didn’t felt or pull the roving apart. I plan to dye more colors.

 

Kelly’s Projects

Finished: 13.8 ounces of Jazzman (CVM x Merino x Columbia) 3-py. 

Use all the Spinning Tools Challenge: Wyatt Norwegian wheel is now spinning a Greenwood Fiber BFL braid. School House Rock colorway. It will be a three-ply fractal that I plan to use for socks. 

Also started: Desert Lavender socks out of Smirligan’s yarn. Soft green, purple and natural white variegated yarn.
