Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Forty Six
Only a quick update for me. Very little progress on any knitting projects. I finished blocky Boxy and love the finish of the final fabric but need to sew in a few ends ( and decide on redoing the neck). I’ve made small progress on my Ogopogo sock. I have two big spinning projects I … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Forty Six”
Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Forty Five
So I’ve been laid low with Covid for the last week and a half, hence no update last week. I’ll be honest I haven’t felt like doing much of anything so even though I had to have a few days off work all I managed was sleeping. Lots and lots of sleeping. So this week … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Forty Five”
Year of Projects: Week Forty Three
It’s been a while since I last updated my blog. Work has been crazy so stopping for the Easter weekend was very welcome. I tacked on a couple of extra days holiday onto the long weekend and my partner and I had a few days in Hay on Wye. For those who don’t know it, … Continue reading “Year of Projects: Week Forty Three”
Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Forty
I can’t believe we’re this far through the year already, I’ve barely scratched the surface of yarn related projects! At least Boxy is coming to a close now. I’m just working on the sleeves and finishing up the neckline. I’m not sure what my next larger project will be. Maybe Hitofude which has been on … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Forty”
Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Thirty Eight
We’ve finally had a run of good weather which means time to get in the garden before the rains descend again! This week’s big win was constructing the new raised bed and polytunnel. This one is much taller than last year’s, about four foot as opposed to two, so I can use it for some … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Thirty Eight”
Spinning Silk Workshop
Earlier this week I attended an online workshop run by Katie Weston at Hilltop Cloud on spinning silk fibre. I have very little experience of spinning silk beyond a silk brick preparation I tried a few years ago which ended in complete disaster. I found it impossible to draft and quite ‘messy’ as a prep. … Continue reading “Spinning Silk Workshop”
Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Thirty Five
What a difference a week makes. This time last week we were being battered by storms; this week it’s beautifully sunny and dry. While it’s is good for gardening it does mean the knitting/spinning has taken a bit of a back seat this week. I made a start earlier this week on planting some early … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Thirty Five”
Year of Projects: Week Thirty Four
Just a quick update here as it’s been another slow week in terms of actually progress. My Boxy is coming along. I added a progress marker last Sunday so I could keep a track of things and I’ve definitely made progress even if it doesn’t feel like it! My silks arrived ready for my silk … Continue reading “Year of Projects: Week Thirty Four”
Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Thirty Three
I finally finished my first bobbin of singles from my 12 Days of Christmas spin. At this rate I should have a finished yarn by the summer! I’ve also been making progress on my Boxy but there still isn’t much of interest to see there either. In spinning news I reactivated my School of SweetGeorgia … Continue reading “Year of Projects 2021/22: Week Thirty Three”
Finished Handspun: Core Spun Yarn
I finished this up a few weeks ago now but am only just getting around to posting the details. This is the core spun yarn I made from the Fellview Fibres 2020 12 Days of Christmas calendar. The fibre is Elegance and is a BFL and silk blend. I feel a little bit guilty for … Continue reading “Finished Handspun: Core Spun Yarn”
