Officially the Group is in its 11th year, but this is my 4th year participating. So lots of reflecting and planning this week. My YOP year runs from July to June so approaching the mid-year point when I will see how I’m doing. My 2021 Summary post is drafted and ready to publish on the 31st. I bought myself a planner for next year and I have been filling that in and thinking about some personal goals. My husband is going to book me on another wood turning lesson as a Christmas present. So I had a play, came up with a design, warped it and have started to weave it.
#Inklet loom free
On a tutorial video I found out there is a free app for designing inkle bands. This yarn is too splitty to look neat, but I have hung it on the tree. With some scrap bamboo/linen yarn and a larger ring I made a Dorset buttons. He has huge feet so I’m thinking Easter may be more realistic haha! Weaving Obviously I need variety and so will knit a little on both. He says if I didn’t knit my mittens his socks may be ready for him to wear by New Year. I also have a pair of socks I’ve started for Allistar. I’ve used New Lanark wool quite a lot ( Such a Winter’s Day jumper, felted Tote bag, the current jumper I am knitting) it is incredibly hard wearing and bobble resistant and 100% wool. So far I love knitting it and how it looks. It isn’t as nice looking but my mitten cuff will be hidden anyway. Having spent ages doing an Italian tubular cast on and it was clear I needed to make the size smaller so had to rip it out, so on my 2nd attempt just did a long tail cast on 🤣. I cast on a pair of Hasting Mittens by Tracie Millar (Grocery Girls podcast) using New Lanark DK wool. I have just been knitting 2 rows per day on my jumper. I was hoping to make the bag this week but my wrist is still getting the odd twinges of pain. The green silk isnt showing well, so doubt I will use that. I really like how the flax looks so will definitely add that and the boucle and have a think about the orange. I think I like it better where I’ve split the ply so it’s thinner.
I hate orange but it does pop against the greens.
I tested ideas for when I make my first felted handbag on a ball:
