Fleece/spinning
Wash the Lleyn fleece, and spin it for a jumper
Finish spinning Hebridean fleece (or felt it ?) >> hat
Spin enough Shetland to knit something with it >> shawl/scarf
spin silk bits ditto >> use in with the Shetland
spin and dye the rest of the Dorset Horn
spin the nice, clean, already-dyed Romney
Clean, sort, skirt and wash the dirty Zwartbles fleece.
(no prizes for guessing which of these might get done first)
Knitting
Knit more things that are not socks.
Knit a jumper
Knit currently finished handspun into useful, wearable items (hats/cowls).
and breathe |
Same here, only different breeds of sheep. Plus I got a kilo of alpaca raw fleece as runner up in a pattern design competition. It has already taken me ages just fiddling about trying to decide how to prepare it, how to spin it, whether to blend and if so what with. If I had won, I think I'd be dealing with alpaca stash til I died.
Breathing is a lot more effort than usual - I think small relatives have given me a festive snotty virus. I shall retaliate with birthday knitwear. |
