January Crafting Update and February Goals

January goals

• Finish tablet woven band, it's very tiny and will take a while, start another? - worked on it!
• Crochet something? maybe mittens or socks - started mittens!
• Warp on new big loom project - Navajo Churro handspun yard for plaid twill for a big pillow - warped on and weaving!
• Spin stuff - just started spinning grey romney fleece combing waste that I carded, want to spin something else next - finished the combing waste, spun 6 of 8 oz of grey/blue/black targhee roving, plyed the 30oz of romney fleece and the carded merino
• Finish processing alpaca fleece - done! in a bin for storage
• knit sweater - worked on this until I messed my left wrist up by shoveling wet snow followed by kntting then landing oddly on that wrist then shoveling more snow. not smart but it's almost recovered

Mittens from Moorit Magazine Issue 1, really great patterns, I'm working from a chart. Going to start the second one shortly so I don't end up with only one mitten.
