January Crafting Update and February Goals

January Crafting Goals

• spin alpaca and finish plying the stuff sitting around - worked on the alpaca, plyed a bunch of yarns and skeined them. started a new spin
• Figure out what to do with all the samples I've had sitting around forever that I'm not looking at - I think singles and maybe 2 ply will be weft in a weaving project, 3 ply will be some kind of wild colorwork, but they all got packed away for the move
• Knit sweater - made a bunch of progress on the sleeves while I was at my parents since it was the only project i brought
• Finish woven rug and warp new project - finished the rug including knotting fringe. Decided not to warp new project and just get the loom ready for the move
• process fleece - I've been working on this daily while at home and it's going well!
• work on coat mockup - sewed a fucked up double welt pocket but I'm making progress
• sew other projects - made myself a bag for the SCA event including weaving a strap - very last minute
• Secret project - made myself a blue linen tunic and wool overcoat for my first SCA event

Plyed yarns skeined and drying, these were mostly spun and discussed in the December post
