May/June Crafting Update and July Goals

[unicornduke]

So I completely forgot to do my June goals. To be fair, I was slightly busy.

May/June goals

• weave tablet weaving project
• spin final third of purple roving - done before I moved! And I literally finished plying it yesterday
• comb romney fleece - still in progress
• wash as many fleeces as possible - got two done, building drying rack this week
• crochet socks - finished!

Purple!


Socks photographed very badly!



July goals

• Spin something - I have exchanged spinning wheels with dragonlady7 and I want to fiddle with her wheel since it seems to be cranky and not spinning correctly. maybe go wild and spin something on my electrical wheel that is thicker
• Skein purple yarn - it's a pound of yarn and it took me so long to ply and now I need to skein it. ugh. someday I will own a skein winder.
• build fleece drying rack - I need to buy lumber but should be a fast build and then I can get back to washing the alpaca fleeces
• comb romney fleece - I really want to finish this! 
• crochet - keep working on the handspun shawl I started,  it's very pretty
• knitting - sweater? socks again? I doubt it but lets see

Socks in their natural habitat!

That is some serious purple.

Might be worth checking aliexpress to see if the skein winder actual manufacturer is selling them for much less?

Oh there's a whole bunch of different types of skein winders and quality and so I need to decide which one I want and if I want a reel winder or an actual skein winder and which one. So I'll get one eventually but it isn't urgent because I do have a niddy noddy. Hand winding takes time but is doable

Whereas I am old enough to think time is the only thing you've got. :)

I am glad you've got some support devices!
