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? |
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.
