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.

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 along nicely! Erica i

Episode 8: Spinningh Progress and So Much More!

Michelle's FOs Icelandic fleece from a black, gray, unspotted ram named Louie. It is 2 ply and bulky weight. Two finished needle felted pictures. The first is two gnome scenes from a tutorial by Living Felt. And the zentangle dragon I mentioned in the show. Random fibers for felting before carding: and after: In their lumpy, bumpy form, they aren't as easy to wrap into bases as batts or roving. Here are a couple gnome bases ready to be covered after wrapping a chenille stem from the batt. It might be fun to leave some multicolored. Erica's WIP Erica is trying a new procedure for spinning. Rather than spinning singles and plying right away, she is spinning up singles until she hits a low energy point or runs out of bobbins. Here is a slew of some singles she has spun up, most of these singles are from her advent calendar. The advent calendar has been quite fun and came at a good time in this experiment.
