November Crafting Update and December Goals

I did so much??? For some reason, November felt wildly busy.

November Goals

• Spin grey Romney fleece - 4 out of 6 bobbins done and the blobs in the box are getting quite low
• Finish tablet weaving project? - DONE WOW. turns out when you work on something, it is easier to get it done
• knit sweater - still working on it, I have a crop top sweater now
• process fleece - I think I worked on this once
• finish 4oz test comb for timing - done and did a second one of Teeswater
• start a crochet project - hat and scarf for gifts? - did a crochet hat and a knit hat, no pictures because they aren't 100% done. I need to put a lining in the crochet hat

Other things: big loom weaving!
Pictures!

Grey Romney! I think I've finally earmarked this fleece for a big snuggly cardigan that I can wear over other layers. I will either do a 3 ply or 4 ply depending on what weight I want. Two more bobbins to go since this is a little over 20 oz, with another 10oz to spin. I shouldn't need extra yarn but if I do, I have 10 oz of carded combing waste from the same fleece.
