What I have been working on:

Back in October I created a ‘meet-up’  at work for others who knit or crochet.  There were 8 of us that showed up.  We meet approx every other week in the cafeteria at work on Wednesday nights.

In February the Knit Picks Community had a Virtual Spin-In.  This is what I spun during that weekend:  Polworth wool in the Petrified colorway by CloudLover.  I got 138 yards in a 2-ply at a Worsted weight.

I’m crocheting a new afghan for my queen size bed (going to take  me some time to do Smile)

I designed a new “mitts” pattern.  I was going for a Victorian age / Steampunk style of design.  I have a lot of friends who are into this new Steampunk style and thought they would like them.  Do you like them?  Let me know what you think.  Smile

I am knitting a “horse” sweater – hoping to get it done so I can wear it at least once before the end of the winter.  We shall see…

I started a double knit project – shawl.  This is how far I have gotten – not very far, hehe.

This weekend is Sheep in the City in Oak Creek, WI.  As usual, I had to buy some new fiber.   In the picture below, starting on the left is:  Polworth wool in Brown Eyed Girl colorway by Happy Hands Yarn (also on the far right), Alpaca/Bamboo 50/50 blend in Pewter colorway by Fiber Lady, a project bag, and on the bottom center is a sock blank by Fairy Yarnmother.com.
