Bit late, but everything got away from me. Plus it was really hard to pick things I’d made last year I was proud of. Last year felt really overwhelming & I didn’t feel like I made much which clearly wasn’t true at all. Anyway, these are my favourites from last year.
I fell into a pattern of simply filling up spindles over the last few months. So here’s the 100s of meters of thread that needs to be de-spindled, plyed, & finished.
I present the finished shoulder bag! This was my partners christmas gift, doesn’t he look pleased 😁
Yes, this sculpt had been sitting on my dining table the entire 2023 unfinished. But no more! It literally only needed some beak/claw/toe touchups & the feather spots/edging. Still a few things to do after a quick seal, but she’s gonna be done!
Kevin has decided she’s caretaker for the full spindle sticks. These are the spun up rolags I hand made. Now to plying them!
Finished paw and (surprise) tail set, made as a christmas gift for a friend.
I did it! I just put in all my entries for the 2024 Royal Easter Show. I’m entering all but one category under the Spinning Arts & Craft schedule; the dark purple in the handspun category, other yarns are going up against wheel spinners in respective laceweight & regular weight categories, the garment in the fully handspun garment category. Hoping I’m good enough to make it into the display, winning a prize/commendation would be a bonus.
From my flock to yours, Merry Christmas!
WoW fibre advent Day 24. This is a cracker of a colourful (see what I did there) blend of merino, cashmere, & sari silk.
Thanks to every spinner who was doing the WoW or another fibre advent with me this month, & to everyone who followed along with my efforts. Merry Christmas 🎄
WoW fibre advent Day 23. A misleadingly named blend of merino, corridale, & tussah silk. Honestly, I was rather unimpressed by with the vile colour choices.
