Finished Objects
Erica
Several Weavolution Tutorials.
Weasley Jumper to TJ!!! I'm so
excited that TJ will have it to open on Christmas
day!
Duplicate stitch was more
difficult than I thought, possibly, because the main color is
black.\/so dark. Two color knitting is quite easy in Portuguese
style knitting, so for the next jumper I will knit the initial into
the front of the jumper. I've also rewritten the pattern to knit
the jumper in the round. I'm not exactly sure how I will deal with
the sleeves whether I will still knit sleeves
flat or pick up stitches and knit sleeve in the round top
down.
I did finish Oli's socks in time for Christmas!
Yeah!
Michelle
Tawas Point lighthouse. Michelle
saw this cutout of Michigan's lower peninsula and knew that it
needed a lighthouse. She started this about a year ago, but just
put on the finishing touches and glued it on the board.
Two gnomes received their
beards. Both have locks from the same Icelandic sheep.
Michelle also did a bit of
spinning. This is either Polworth or Falkland. It is the last of
the fiber she dyed this summer.
This blue wool is of unknown breed. Michelle believes the
white in it is mohair.
Works in Progress
Erica
Oli sock #2 is going along
really well, I also hope to have it done by Christmas to be opened
as well, we shall see.
Damask Trim I have one entire
design woven, hoping to make good progress over break.
Linen lining/tape I think I've
got at least a meter woven now, also hope to make good progress
over break.
Organic Polwarth, picked back up
just today, now that the jumper is done I'll be getting back to
this spinning project. I took 3 braids and split each in 3
vertically. I have put storage bobbins and the fiber in their own
plastic bags to keep this project organized. I am spinning one part
of each braid, then a part of the second braid, then the third, and
back to the beginning. I am doing this in an attempt to keep them
fairly consistent. We shall see if that works! :)
I also cast on a hat in some
handspun to knit for my dad. Hopefully, it will knit up in time for
him to get it this winter. :)

Four gnomes that just need beards.
Crochet spider. 62 of 64 "flowers" made.
Michelle made a few yarn bowls
that she added designs to. They're in the WIP because they still
need to be fired and glazed. Her new kiln should arrive within a
week or two!
