Q1'24 Finished List (6)

I'm late posting this... I left just before the end of the quarter for a 3 week trip around Greece. More on that later!

These are the things I finished in Q1:

A wool scarf from Graceful yarn that has been donated to a charity auction. What's exceptionally cool about the piece is that I now know what I need to know to weave up some fabric for a shirt.

Who doesn't need color on their loom bench?

Two baby blankets from Cotton Classic knitting yarn, one of which has gone to live at one of G's niece's houses.

The sheep shirt and a shirt in aqua Malay batik (which went on vacation with me)

A rug sample from Nancy Kennedy's rug weaving class, which is on my loom bench.

Not done: 

• There are two towels somewhere in Studio that just need hemming. I can't find them.
• Shiny sweater: I have one sleeve to go, and I need to reknit the bottom hem.
• Two spinning projects: the goat is still not plied, nor is the brown and multicolored singles from the roving I bought at KAFF. 
• The double huck scarf is almost done, I just need to finish the fancy multicolored end.
• I also started a cowl while on my trip but didn't get very far.

When I bought a handmade rug in Greece, I tried to tell the shopkeeper to let the weaver know the rug was going to the home of a weaver. I showed him the loom bench photo and told him it was mine, and he understood. 

It occurs to me with all of the travel I have planned for this year, I'm going to have a tough time getting anything done....

Some Q2 goals:

• Finish some of the unfinished stuff from Q1; maybe even find those two towels!
• Install upgrade on sewing machine and take this class: https://sewing-mastery.teachable.com/p/bernina-pinpoint-placement-master-class
• Finish the Shiny sweater.
• Make a cute grocery bag from the embroidered panels.
• Double weave pillows x 4.
• Yardage in Bronson lace.
