Finished Objects:

Michelle finished skirting the llama fleece that she was working on at the last episode. She originally was going to send it to the mill, but has since decided to spin it herself. She has moved on to skirting the seconds from the same animal. It is still so soft, but this is definitely going to the mill.


Erica has finished plying several yarns! Erica has plyed two of her advent calendar yarns with semi-solid or solid yarns in an attempt to highlight the original advent calendar yarns. Feel free to comment on the FB post to tell her how you think she did!





Works in Progress:

Michelle has started making a Waffa (wild and fun fiber art) bird. She got the idea from a Living Felt tutorial  (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A2lcWgD5lQM) and she has really been having fun.

Erica had a lot to say about her current works in progress. If you have thoughts, please do comment on our FB posts ! This sock is so close to bind off, then they both need heels put in and they will be done, done, done. OK weaving in ends too. :)

TJ's socks have made good progress, but not really enough to post photos.
I do apologize there were some sound issue with the recording and parts of our needle storage conversation did not record.

She has been knitting these minis from the remainder of the handspun yarn she used for TJ's hat last winter! She knit the following minis from Laura Nelkin's Shawls 14 Ways class : square top to bottom square center out triangle bottom up On a trip to Aberdeen: tip to tip square Top-down crescent, Heart-shaped crescent Tip to tip center panel crescent Hal Pi circular 12 rows Top-down semi-circle shawl Erica appreciates everyone's patience with the editing of the last episode as she worked on getting the drawloom set up!

Michelle has been playing with macrame this month. She made 4 plant hangers to help with her growing plant collection. Three look like this one. This was the first one she made. There was enough string left over so she decided to make this one a double hanger. Michelle finished the test knit she was working on. It still needs to be blocked, but it will be a beautiful shawl (as long as her mistakes aren't too obvious). WIP Erica is still working on the Dueling Fingerless Mitts. The mitts are coming ...
