Two finished projects and an almost finished project are the big knitting topics this week. Marsha continues to combo spin and Kelly starts a weaving project.\xa0 Thanks to all who visited the Two Ewes Shop during the Shop Small sale and supported the making of this podcast!
Marsha's Projects\xa0
Marsha has finished her second\xa0 Among the Shadows Shawl by Kelene Kinnersly. The yarn is Stonehedge Fiber Mill Crazy, made from mill ends.\xa0\xa0
Marsha has also finished her Beeline Compost Spin pullover using the Beeline pattern by Heidi Kirrmaier.
Marsha's second combo spin is underway.\xa0 She thinks the skeins look similar to her last one even though her color planning was very different.\xa0 These skeins will have a variety of fibers, including silk, and the yarn is quite lustrous.
Kelly's Projects
Kelly is almost finished with her Handspun Cowichan sweater.\xa0 It is the Orca Run by Beth Brown-Reinsel.\xa0 She is adding an applied i-cord edging to the fronts to give the sweater a little more room, provide a neat zipper placket, and give the whale snouts a little more room.
Winter Weave Along
Marsha has her yarn ready to go, but realized there is no reed in her loom.\xa0 She'll be using worsted weight yarn so a 10-dent reed is the best choice.\xa0 Kelly will be visiting soon and the Ewes will get Marsha started on her weaving. Meanwhile Kelly has wound warp for green and red dishtowels.
Kelly has found a Ravelry Group that does a year-long weave along using the Marguerite P. Davidson book, A Handweaver's Pattern Book.\xa0 The group chooses chapters from the book and then within each chapter, weave structures to experiment with. \xa0
