Spirit Yarn charity hat (gray wool/acrylic blend) started at the retreat.
About a half dozen dishcloths from spirit yarn–royal blue and a sunny yellow and orange variegated cotton yarn. Using Triple L Tweed stitch. Some have been given away, some will stay with me. Almost finished with them.
Spun on two different projects at the retreat. Using up the last of the Wensleydale x Cormo x Merino from last summer. I had forgotten I still had a box of batts so I brought them to the retreat to spin with some purple silk held along with the fiber. The other project was spinning some gray Corriedale/Merino roving. One bobbin into the first project, two bobbins into the second project.
Loom refurbishing project. Front apron has arrived from The Woolery. Not yet installed
Spring Buckens and Owls (Ms and Os): One towel to go! Maybe a second small one depending on how much loom waste I have.
