March crafting update and April goals

March goals

• spin mohair, finishing it would be a stretch - spun! Didn't finish it but I'm one bobbin away from finishing. Also spun 4 oz of top and chain plyed it. started another top spin but it's not done yet
• finish mittens - finished them and then had to rip the second thumb back out since it was too tight, haven't finished it yet
• knit sweater - made progress, almost done with the back, broke two circular needles :/
• cone up alpaca - CONED, so much fun to use
• process the rest of the brown alpaca fleece? - worked on it, close to done
• sew pullover - sewn!
• tablet weaving - make a loom for this? - found my weaving notebook, finished the languishing project, did one small weaving project for a friend, started a larger more complicated one
• other - washed three fleeces, I'm trying to get them all washed so I have less raw fleeces sitting around forever.

I did a lot of crafting, lots of things in progress. Basically no reading done, so I'll combine March and April reading.

Pullover made, I love it. It's light, it's stretchy, it's comfy. I want to make more at some point. Pattern is Jackson Pullover by Helen's Closet. Terrible picture!
