Time for an Update
I've had a lot of life lately, and for a while I lost steam on my craft projects, but it's back and I've actually got a lot going on, so let's get to it.
- With much sadness, I ripped out the entire Miss BB cardigan. I have taken new measurements and picked a new pattern for that yarn, but it's going to be a bit before I start it. I'm really trying to clear out WIPs and take care of obligations.
- The green spinning on the goat spindle is progressing nicely. Having a distaff to hold my fiber and having less time to use my wheel means I'm getting quite a bit of this done. I'm almost done with the second of three plies.
- The baby alpaca (Harley) fleece project is still progressing slowly. It's hard to get wheel time and processing by hand takes time too, but it's so silky soft.
- The whipcord braid is done (for now). There's always a demand for cord for SCA awards, so I imagine I'll make more as it gets used up.
- The Bayou Giles wavy socks were frogged, because they didn't fit and I wasn't feeling them. I'll use the yarn for something else at someday.
- The Vacillate shawl is going well, it's been my main knitting project. It must be over halfway done. I'll use a recent pic of it as the photo for this post.
- The Boyfriend socks are going well too. I'm doing them two at a time and right now I'm turning the heel on the second sock, then I'll just have to knit the legs. The color is pretty and pooling nicely. I need to try them on once I get the heels done and make sure they fit right.
- I had been working on a pair of Adrift mitts for my sister with some leftover handspun, but the colors weren't looking great, so those were ripped.
- Finally, for the first time in ages I took a commission to knit a Jacobite bonnet for a Scottish-American reenactor. It's going well, they're easy-peasy.
Happy summer, all!
