New distraction, and obsessed with Komebukuro

I have a new distraction, an ebike, and can now climb a hill to the house! That'll likely make me less productive, but I'll be smiling a whole lot...

I've tried to figure out what happened to my interest in mosaic. The answer is the Studio has become a dumping ground for all kinds of crapola... This week I spent some time organizing and cleaning. It'll need another couple of rounds then I'll back at in and finishing that little table.

I've also been spending a lot of time on the komebukuro kit I picked up in Oregon.  I'll be working on them again and should finish one just before Thanksgiving. Here's one of the panels, most of the embroidery done, bathed in the oversaturated light at the end of the day...  Currently wondering if I should make some bags using my awesome embroidery machine instead of doing it by hand? And wondering where to take the rice?

I'm mostly done threading the loom with ikat. I have low expectations for this project; there were a lot of issues getting the warp on. But the shifting looks better than I feared. Before I use the warp shifter for another project, I'll need to evaluate some best practices for both dyeing and dressing the loom.

On the knitting front, the body of the vest is finished and I'm working on sleeve bands, button bands, etc. I've got a start on a cashmere cardigan.  I also am not pleased with the silk sweater I made (Shiny) and need to maybe add a couple of darts and definately shorten the sleeves.
