Summer Spin-In prizes from Lambtown
Marsha’s Projects
Dimity, Diaper, Damask Blanket: I wove a blanket using 5 colors of warp and a single color of weft. I wove a bird’s eye twill which falls in the Diaper category. Halfway done with fringe. Hard to find time to work on the blanket. The fringe maker I ordered is a life saver! I still need to wash.
Garden Cardigan by AnkeStrick. Using Kelbourne Woolens Scout in the colorway Moss Heather. Joined left and right front to back and knit about 7” of body.
Spindrift Shawl by Helen Stewart. Using by handspun from a braid by Alexandra Art of Yarn
Socks: Using Madeline Tosh sock in the colorway Plum Tree. Finished first sock and cast on second.
Garden Redesign: I’ve created a project page. The handrail and railing have been installed. A privacy fence, arbor, and gate are being built. Designer planting bulbs in both back and south gardens, and planting crocuses in the south lawn.
Here is the Seattle Times article on Bulb lasagna. Here is another article from High Country Gardens that gives more detailed planting instructions.
Kelly recommended Old House Gardens for heritage bulbs.
Kelly’s Projects
Still working on the hem ribbing of the red-orange poppy colored Boxy sweater. Decided against a split hem and I’ve got only about a half inch to go before binding off the hem and starting on sleeves. I also have an accidentally slipped stitch about 3 inches up that needs to be repaired
Naturally dyed blanket warp is on the loom. Realized I don’t have 45” lease sticks so they’ve been ordered and are on the way.
Robert’s Birthday Hats (9, 10, 11 for the year). Finished, put in the Little Free Library and gone! Also put in two gently used hats from my hat stash! Working on hat number 12 out of leftovers of the same yarn
Romney fleece picking continues. 3.5 lb half a fleece. Washed this summer and some carded, some dyed. Getting ready to card the dyed fiber and do some blended batts.
