a new skirt, an interview & a question
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
What I’m Working on…
: a new skirt! sometimes project just fall together beautifully – this project was one of those projects (…after I tried & miserably failed to make a hoodie out of this fabric…) This maxi skirt is hopefully one of the many that I’ll make & live in this summer.
: if you missed it on Friday, I was interviewed about knitting & knitwear design by Robin Hunter for her blog and you can read the interview here.
: much of this week spent working on the roughest of rough drafts of an ebook about color (understanding color theory, choosing color, combining colors, mixing colors, etc.) and so, I wanted to ask:
what trips you up or what sticking points do you run into, when you’re planning color combinations or working with color (in knitting or anywhere)?
I’d love to hear your answers! Leave a comment or contact me directly. Talk soon!
back to spindle spinning
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
What I’m Working On…
: the only crafting project I really worked on this week was a little bit of spinning.
: Saturday I spend the afternoon spindle spinning a sample of alpaca/wool fiber, and as a little bit of an experiment I documented the progress through the afternoon over on Instagram – it was fun photographing the incremental progress, and was a good reminder to stop & take photos of what I’m making as it’s in the process of getting made, so I’m going to try doing more of that in the future – if you’re on Instagram, come say hi!
: then I spindle plied the sample last night, and now it’s resting until I get around to skeining the yarn.
no knitting, no sewing, but a new shawl pattern
Each Wednesday, I take stock of the projects I’m working on.
What I’m Working On…
: no knitting & no sewing; I spent a long weekend at TNNA, and that includes much talking time & lots of driving time – which you would think would translate into lots of knitting – but there was none.
: I did pick apart & frog a friend’s sweater (the ends were woven in and everything) – it’s amazing how much more fun frogging is when it’s not your knitting.
: And then because the sweater was knit with two strands of yarn held together, we re-wound each ball to separate the strands (Theresa took a mesmerizing video of it.)
: Also!! The Gauge + Tension shawl collection is available! Come check it out on Ravelry!
