Having come back from Yarndale with 1.5kg of fibre from John Arbon I will be starting on that as soon as possible. I have some zwartbles fleece on my majacraft rose as OH would like a jumper for the colder weather, preferably with a white or cream pattern included as a finishing touch.
Knitting wise I am 6 inches down, on an outside inwards, shetland shawl, using John Arbon merino silk blend. I think that I have made a mistake with this choice as the varigated nature of the fibre does not sit as well with the lacey pattern of the shawl as a plain fibre would have done.
Weaving wise I am still looking for an 8 shaft table loom, not wanting to pay new price unless I am forced to. I have a sample on my rigid heddle loom and a messy band on my inkle loom as I try to learn pick up weaving.
My stash has increased tremendously and I am flick combing some masham before I drum card it and have it await its time for spinning. There is also some washed teeswater to prepare, ditto gotland, lincoln longwool and manx loughtan. There is prepared and ready to spin kerry hill, alpaca, merino (commercially prepared) and boxes of bought in silks, fancy stuff such as seacell, milk, soya - you name it and I will have a bit of it somewhere and sparkles with angelina, tri lobal nylon ect.
Writing it down makes me think that I should not have gone to Yarndale!
I too am preparing for Britspin.
