Year Of Projects: week 10

A week of WIP galore, and few more are on the horizon.

In summary:

1. I haven’t even touched the sleeves I was working on last week;
2. I haven’t managed to finish the scarf-that-is-a-dry-run-for-dress-yardage, as I miscalculated my yarn needs, and I am currently separated from my stash
3. I am working like mad on the yardage for a jacket for my other half, but it is 7 metres of double weave with laceweight yarn, so this will take weeks to finish

I do have some little visual on the progress regarding 3. above, though, which maybe shows you how very much I still have to go:

In stash news, I have received the yarn for the forthcoming “Weaving with Echo and Iris” workshop that I mentioned last week, here it is:

one colour, a beautiful burgundy, is still missing, in that I have it already, and is elsewhere with the rest of my stash. Together with the first three colours from the right, it will be used for warp. Not sure whehter I’ll use the light navy or the black as weft, I’ll have to try them on. Here are the same cones, but with colour taken away:

Garnhuset Eco cotton

I am really looking forward to trying this yarn – it is 8/2 cotton (600m for 100g) by GarnHuset I Kinna, it really have some lovely colours, and is sold in the UK by the ever dependable Helen of MyFineWeavingYarns.

However I first have to weave off my very long double weave warp, and I already know my table loom will not be free for a few more weeks!

On housekeeping news, I am pretty satisfied with myself for having created an index of my weaving posts, which you can now find it all its glory here (for wordpress users:I used the display-code type of block. I think I will gradually replace the categories in my navigation menu with indexes).

And that’s about it, hope you have a great week!

This is a year of projects (YOP) update. YOP is a Ravelry Group, and an idea – make a plan for the year ahead for all your fibre activities, then update your blog every week if you manage. The objective is to keep track of progress on any fiber crafts with maximum flexibility: post, don’t post, follow your list, change it – so really it is just an opportunity to get to know of more blogs and activities of those who share a passion for anything fibre crafts.
