I'm really enjoying reading about what everyone is doing
So many busy people
I haven't progressed much with my spinning project, although I have tried a tiny bit of some Portugese Merino on my small bog-oak Turkish spindle. It spins like a dream, from shoulder to floor without having to twirl again. The merino is difficult to draw, not because it's not lovely and open, but because the staple is a bit short, and it needs far more twist than I'm used to putting in. I have been rediscovering why drop spindles are called that, with several clatters on the floor
My sparkly shawl is creeping forward, and the silver addition looks just right.
I finished my super chunky vest top in record time - just have to sew it together, my least favourite bit.
My OH is getting on with building my Wool Shed (for storing fleece, washing and drying it and weaving floor rugs on my big loom, maybe using the Ashford loom for textiles too) It's well away from the house and the road, so once it's done I won't be disturbed. It has taken ages to get this far - the final roof truss should be ceremoniously raised on Saturday. I am 'allowed' to help then by driving the tractor to raise the truss while my OH runs up and down the framework bolting it all into place. I'm sure he was a monkey in a previous life
I doubt the whole building will be finished and watertight before next year, by which time I will have forgotten how to warp up the loom........
Keep your updates coming - it's fascinating
