Marsha\\u2019s Projects

I\\u2019m still working on the pair of socks for myself using Drops Fabel Print that I bought in San Luis Obispo.

I\\u2019m back to working on the Walk Along by AnkeStrick and I\\u2019m using Little Fish Stitches fingering. I was having problems where I was alternating skeins at the beginning of row which was at the back of the sweater. A huge thank you to MyBlueGirl and Sarahjhill for suggesting Helical knitting. This solves the problem of the messy looking change.

I started a spinning project with olive green merino roving I bought at the Whidbey Island Weavers meet up in April 2019. Combining it with another merino I ordered from Paradise Fibers in Spokane, Washington in a dark brown called Bitter Chocolate. Making a 3 ply with two green and one brown single.

Kelly\\u2019s Projects\\xa0

Finished!\\xa0 I hemmed the Christmas Candy dishtowels and put them away!\\xa0

I also finished With Friends Pullover using the pattern Rachel by Jos\\xe9e Paquin.\\xa0 It still needs ends woven in and blocking. I\\u2019m really happy with how it turned out and I\\u2019m looking forward to wearing it.\\xa0

The Persian Tile Blanket is coming along, but I didn\\u2019t work on it as much in the last two weeks. Instead I started a pair of socks for Robert. I\\u2019m using leftovers of Leading Men Fiber Arts Show Stopper, Independent Will colorway. I had 90 grams left after using it for argyle socks for my brother-in-law. Not sure I\\u2019ll have enough but I\\u2019m planning to use toes and heels of a different yarn.
