Marsha’s Projects

Emotional Support Chicken: by Annette Corsino. I’ve knitted a bit on my chicken. Decided to make a rock climbing chicken for Ben. Found tiny carabiners online.

Sockhead Slouch Hat: by Kelly McClure. Using Done Roving Yarns Frolicking Feet in colorway Irish Moss. Hibernating.

Graphito: by Heidemarie Kaizer. Using Purls Before Swine Robusta in colorways Good Jeans (blue) and Toxic (pink). I finished the yoke and divided for the sleeves. I’ve knit about an inch of the body but I’m going to wash and block the yoke to be sure it fits and the patterning looks good.

Ames Beanie: Stephanie Larson. Using Purls Before Swine Hometown Worsted in colorway Seaglass. I was about to start the decreases when I noticed I had crossed one of the cables the wrong way. I need to rip back.

Socks: The Artful Ewe Clackamas. Finished first sock and about halfway through leg of second sock.

Weaving Studio: I organized the closet and put all of Ben’s stuff in there. I’d like him to take it, but all in good time.

Kelly’s Projects

Finished the front on the Maple Vest. Need to wind yarn to start on the back. The ribbing pattern is fun and I love using my wooden cable needle. The fabric is heavy and a little silky.

I’ve got my woven squares blanket to square (14 x 14) and I have only six more rows to sew on. It’s been a little over a year since I started this project.

Plans for more chickens because my community needs some emotional support right now The first two went to our Mi Casa Undocuscholar Center and our Pride Center.

Stalled on Graphito by Heidemarie Kaiser while I’ve been working on the vest and the spinning and fleece prep.

Suint Bath Shetland Project: Finished carding both batches and now spinning them. Washed fiber is spun. Starting on the unwashed fiber and it is still quite greasy. I'll wind each bobbin into a center pull ball and ply each of them to compare the results.

Winter Weave Along

Going until March 31. Show us your projects in the Ravelry thread. If you aren’t on Ravelry consider joining just so you can talk with us about your weaving!

Challenge: Between now and January 1 do a kind of weaving that you haven’t done before. Possibilities:

New to you weave structure, different forms of loom, make something you never thought of making before, e.g. decorative braids or shoe laces, use a fiber you haven’t used before, use a wet finishing method you haven’t used before. End 2024 with a new weaving skill.
