Mid July Feels Like the Doldrums

 I'm working on a few projects that are long term projects... So I think it'll be a while until I post significant progress. The main projects are:

• The pub quilt (between 1/3 and 1/2 done, close to 1/3). It's coming along nicely.
• The huck baby blankets (one done, one still weaving, on the loom).

  

  Super hard to see the pattern when 

  both warp and weft are white 

   

  
  
• The little shawl that only gets attention every other Monday at knit night, so it's going to be awhile. 

I did start spinning some blue roving at a recent online guild meeting; and I'm winding a warp for the next-on-the-loom project, which will be hand towels for the guest bath.

I've spent zero time in the mosaic studio but hope to in the next few weeks!

Other than that, we're getting out and about a bit, which is fabulous. We cancelled a trip to England, which is not fabulous, but I think inevitable; we're waiting to see if a trip to Canada to see G&M may materialize. Between waiting for the Covid situation to explode and waiting for the next fire or smoke event, it feels a little like sailing with light unpredictable winds waiting for a sudden storm...

Q2'21 Finished things (8)

 My rate of finishing things feels like it's slowed a bit... Here's what's done: 

• Get a vaccine appointment and in fact both vaccines
• Finish the doubleweave class sample.
• Finish the 2nd band of Andean Pebble Weave on the loom.
• Finish the towels on the loom. (4)
• Bootlaces, 5' x 3/8" each
• Make the pub quilt quilt-able

Here's one reason shit doesn't get done

I'll leave the same items on the list from last quarter.  This all isn't going to get done...

• Keep quilting the Pub Quilt! It's about 1/3 done right now.
• Make the Get Weaving Vest pattern in handwoven or stash fabric.
• Weave Baby Blankets; they're just on the loom.
• Start an overshot throw in champagne and white for the den.
• Hand towels for the guest bath.
• Make more progress on the new mosaic table (more than just one poppy).
• Did a second poppy
• Make another grocery bag!
• Make a piece of Andean Pebble weave that's wider, on the loom. 
  
• More towels for another towel exchange, maybe using info from Tien and Janet's class.
• 2 Ikat scarves, for M. and for C.

What else is going on? We had a visitor, we traveled a bit, and we're enjoying local restaurants. I'm also training for a possible 6 day walk next month...  it's been great for my fitness and for turning my brain off but has really hurt my productivity! I'm working on a shawl at knit night, from yarn DH brought me from Iceland, and also working on the Pub Quilt.
