Q1'25 FInished list (12)

My Pebble Beach Shawl matches the

Apparently I haven't been photographing things, as I'm finding a lot of mentions of items without any documentation. So this will be photo-heavy. What have I finished this quarter?


Knitting:
  • Modular vest: it's proved to be a great little vest for around the house, keeping me warm when I'm a little chilly. 
  • Pebble beach shawl: "finished" 7 years ago, but I hated it and put it away with plans to rip it out. I found it last month and don't hate it anymore. Hard to count it as a finished object since all I did was block it and weave in the ends, but will do so as it's no longer in the studio but living in the closet.

Modular Vest

  • A gnome.

 Printing:
  • An edition of snowflake postcards
  • An edition of quail postcards


Weaving:
  • 2nd pennywise runner (with issues)
  • 4 towels; 3 with carrots, 1 with corn (not pictured).

Carrots hanging out in the kitchen



Spinning
  • The Diver's Cove roving is now a 2 ply lace weight yarn, all except for the dregs on one bobbin. I'll ply that with something leftover from another effort.
Other:
  • Bunny shopping bag: I used a machine embroidery pattern by Urban Threads with bunnies and carrots to make a shopping bag/tote using yardage from my stash. Why do I have carrot fabric in my stash? I have no idea. The bag is super cute, and is going to the same charity as the carrot towels.





FOR Q2:

I'll still be out of the studio a lot but should be able to finish:
  • The April cardigan just needs button and the ends woven in...
  • I have a bobbin of merino/tencel singles that I've started plying, more blues.
  • Would be nice to ply up some of the oddball spools
  • I'm taking a spinning class at CNCH, not sure what the result will be.
  • 2-3 more prints, hopefully a 2 color print in the batch,
  • Doubleweave pillows; pattern is drafted, yarn is on the shelf waiting.
  • A waffle weave project for the study group.
And hopefully make some progress on:
  • The pink hawaiian baby quilt
  • The in-progress table
  • And maybe some stepping stone. I'm rethinking designs.
