April Goals

weave tablet weaving project - did some weaving!
spin a third of the purple roving - did this! one third left
flick the fleece I'm working on - try and finish it? - flicked! And started combing
get contact info for the people with the alpacas - done! fleeces acquired
carve down new spindle shaft - not done
knit something - I frogged the sock I was working on because it's been 8 months and it was wrong so I'm now crocheting a pair instead
start a new crochet project? - started socks!

Not a lot of pictures to post this time other than the fleece samples. I'll make a bigger post about them soon. I have about 40 pounds of fiber all combined, I weighed and tagged the bags so I can at least know what I've got. I got some produce crates (the farm no longer uses them and they just have a pallet of them sitting behind their barn and they're happy to let us use them) with holes in the bottoms and sides and they fold up. I'm going to get some bins that they can fit in and hopefully be able to wash a fleece at a time with about a pound of fiber in each crate.

A wood table with 14 fleece samples with four white, fove medium brown, two tan and three black.
