Leslie has worked on the R&R Hoodie by Tanis Lavelle out of Leading Men Fiber Arts in the following colors: Just Peachy, Fortune Teller, London Fog, Bare Necessities, and Marauder. She’s knitting the sleeves using a brilliant steeking method that Heidi Kirrmaier demonstrates here.
She’s also worked on a pair of sport weight socks out of Another Crafty Girl in the Lightning Strike colorway.
Laura is working on a pair of toe up socks (56 stitches on size 0s) out of Nomadic yarns in the everlasting gobstopper colorway. She also cast on a Penta Pillar Pullover out of Knit Spin Farm batt handspun.
Laura finished a recalibrate sweater out of handspun (merino/rose). The fiber was from Southern Cross (no longer in business)
Leslie finished nothing, we have some some wood burned signs from our last FAL.
Laura has started spinning “Just Pretentious Enough” from ITW for the Layla Sweater by Elizabeth Smith. She washed a 3lb grey cormo fleece, and she’s also been lock popping a cvm fleece to prep for carding. Summer of fleece!
Leslie is relistening to Fire & Ice by KF Breene (Fire & Ice series) and reading Ten Thousand Stitches by Olivia Atwater. She’s catching up on back episodes of the Handsome podcast with Tig Notaro, Fortune Feimster, and Mae Martin.
Laura has been relistening to the Mercy Thompson series by Patricia Briggs (m/f adult romance). She also reread the Beacon Hill Necromancer series (m/m adult romance).
