Four months of crafting updates

I thought I did more of these, but the last one was Sept 1st and honestly, Sept and Oct might as well not even have existed for all that I can remember really what happened.

Previous goals:

• finish knitting the sweater because then I can wear it. I really want to wear it - I got to the cuff ribbing, tried the sweater on and realized that I hadn't done decreases on the arms, so I had to rip them back to the elbows.
• spin! - did some spinning! Finished an 8oz skein of yarn of pretty stuff, spun 4 oz of grey merino singles, spun 4 oz wensleydale singles
• weave! - finished weaving the project on the loom! Tied off the warp ends so I hopefully can tie a new warp onto it
• sew! - coat is getting extremely close to done, like I could wear it now. Topstitching and buttons are the only things left
• pull out, clean and finish the great wheel while the weather is nice - lmao no
• process fleece - I finished processing a fleece!
• other - crafting room is partially set up and a Great Sorting is in progress. I went to a fiber festival even though it was inconvenient timing. Put together 25 items to take to the weavers guild show and sale and sold around half of them. I was reunited with my CPW and immediately started spinning on it. I missed it so much.

8 oz of 80/10/10 merino/bamboo/nylon spun up as a two ply yarn. Originally for weaving, I washed it and sold it at the weavers guild sale. 1150 yards. It was really pretty but I didn't think I'd actually do anything with it. The colors in this photo are very bad but I dug through my pictures and couldn't find any good ones.
