Kelly\\u2019s Projects\\xa0

The Mariannes Cardigan by Trine Bertelsen is FINISHED!\\xa0

Robert\\u2019s Pandemic Socks are FINISHED!\\xa0

150 grams of Columbia fleece to yarn project is FINISHED!\\xa0

I think the amount that was listed on the bag of fleece wasn\\u2019t up-to-date. It said 3 lbs and I washed up half of it and carded about half of that. So I just guessed it was about \\xbe pound or 12 ounces.\\xa0 I know I didn\\u2019t lose that much to waste and washing to only get 150 grams (5 ounces). That would be losing more than half. That would be expected with a high lanolin fleece, but not with this Columbia. I think my fleece record-keeping isn\\u2019t quite up to snuff!

Targhee Lamb sweater is now on the needles and I am through one cable chart repeat. I am using the Dark and Stormy pattern by Thea Colman

Marsha\\u2019s Projects:

Summer Fjord by Trin-Annelie using Quince & Co Sparrow in three colors. Finished! Washed, held my breath, and put it in the dryer! The drop sleeves were perfect so I completed the ribbing according to the pattern and did not lengthen the sleeves. May give another trip though the dryer.

I finished the first Arne and Carlos sock. The yarn is patterned to change color as you knit the different parts of the sock. However, the toe color changes quite early so the toe is similar to the socks Kelly made for Robert.

I cast on Holey Comfort by Hinterm Stein with Elemental Effects Cormo. I love the coral color of this yarn!

I finished spinning the Huckleberry Knits and Sauked in Farms roving. Have about 850 yard Dk to light worsted weight yarn. This is a 3-ply with two plies of variegated and one ply of solid.

I started spinning cotton top. This is a challenge!!

Summer Spin-In

Here is some information from the 3 Green Sisters:\\xa0 My sisters and I have been making purses and bags, knitting bags and project totes, loom carrier totes and spinning wheel bags for 19 years.

We come from a long line of seamstresses.\\xa0 My great grandmother, Cecilia, sewed sequined and fancy dresses for the elite\\xa0 in San Francisco in the early 1900\'s. \\xa0 Cecilia passed down the craft to my grandmother, who taught my mother, who taught us. \\xa0 We take great pride in the quality of work-woman-ship in every product we make.

Our bags are made from recycled, upcycled, repurposed, vintage and rescued fabrics.\\xa0 We have many sources to obtain our fabrics including an incredible fabric shop in NYC which lets us "dumpster dive" remnants, generous upholstery and drapery making shops who save their scraps for us, yard sales, Estate Sales and of course, second hand shops.\\xa0 Each bag is a one of a kind.\\xa0 This is our small way to give back to Mother Nature.\\xa0\\xa0
