An account of the craftwork I get up to, tatting, spinning, knitting, sewing, whatever
The brown thread is spun and I'm half way through the green wool.
I've finished knitting the green pair of socks, the second pair for the order I'm working on. It looks in the picture as though one sock is smaller than the other, but they really are the same size!
I've made a start to round 7 of the Spring doily, I hope to finish it later today.
I did get the yarn dyed, ready to be knitted into a sock. I also dyed some fleece, brown and green. I'll spin one thread green and one brown and then ply the two together, for the third pair of socks in the order.
I delivered the puppets yesterday, as well as the tatted lavender. I've finished the spinning for socks, but the threads still have to be plied together, wound into skeins and dyed. I'm sure that while they're drying I'll be able to tat the rest of round 6 of the Spring doily.
I seem to have a lot of projects on the go at the moment.
I've made a start on Round 6 of the Spring doily.
I have an order for another 10 tatted lavender 'bunches'. I've done 5 of them. Yesterday at a knit'n'natter session I tatted two and a half flowers, but still need to finish them off. There's a link to the pattern on the right hand side of the page. I read through it to remind myself before I started tatting!
I've finished the pair of brown socks:
And started spinning wool for the next pair:
I have an order for two puppets, fox and crow, which need to be delivered on Monday, so I've made a start this morning
Right, all that should keep me occupied for a while. I also prepared a project for yesterday's craft group in an old age home and must prepare another one in the coming week.
We've been enjoying scrumptious sweetcorn from Jack's garden. They're beginning to get overripe now, so yesterday I prepared some for the deepfreeze:
I'll use them for fritters or muffins later in the year.
