Finished Objects
Erica has finished one object! This handpun yarn. It was a great project and she is glad to have one FO.

THE BIN




Works in Progress

Michelle continues to knit on the test knit she volunteered to do.



Michelle tried making rolags with her blending board. 

This is a Shetland fleece she obtained a while back. She planned to blend it with a darker Merino also from a while back.


She opened the locks a bit then ran them though the wool picker her dad made for her. This opened the locks further.


She loaded her blending board with some of the lighter Shetland and darker Merino and started rolling it off into rolags.


The finished rolags.


Erica has started spinning another one-of-a-kind, Once in a Lifetime colourway from Fiber Optic Yarns! It is beautiful! 

The Dueling Club Fingerless Mitt for TJ is coming along nicely!
Here is the cloth Erica's student is weaving. :)
Erica's handspun study warp #2 will be used as photographed below, a 3/1 twill, which really emphasizes the handspun yarn over the structure of anything else.

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 ...
