Marsha’s Projects
I’m still working on the pair of socks for myself using Drops Fabel Print that I bought in San Luis Obispo.
I’m back to working on the Walk Along by AnkeStrick and I’m using Little Fish Stitches fingering. I was having problems where I was alternating skeins at the beginning of row which was at the back of the sweater. A huge thank you to MyBlueGirl and Sarahjhill for suggesting Helical knitting. This solves the problem of the messy looking change.
I started a spinning project with olive green merino roving I bought at the Whidbey Island Weavers meet up in April 2019. Combining it with another merino I ordered from Paradise Fibers in Spokane, Washington in a dark brown called Bitter Chocolate. Making a 3 ply with two green and one brown single.
Kelly’s Projects
Finished! I hemmed the Christmas Candy dishtowels and put them away!
I also finished With Friends Pullover using the pattern Rachel by Josée Paquin. It still needs ends woven in and blocking. I’m really happy with how it turned out and I’m looking forward to wearing it.
The Persian Tile Blanket is coming along, but I didn’t work on it as much in the last two weeks. Instead I started a pair of socks for Robert. I’m using leftovers of Leading Men Fiber Arts Show Stopper, Independent Will colorway. I had 90 grams left after using it for argyle socks for my brother-in-law. Not sure I’ll have enough but I’m planning to use toes and heels of a different yarn.
