New needles and a good cleaning – and my Creelman Money Maker ‘A’ from 1893 is cranking out tubes like it’s brand new. Unfortunately the fabric is itchy and not really great for socks, so I decided not to make this into anything at all, and I’ll just use it as a practice run. I can’t wait to start up an actual sock next! I am learning how to do cuffs / heels / toes all on the machine, with nothing afterthought. We’ll see how it goes!
The 27th of this month starts Tour de Fleece, and while it’s different than most years (there’s no tour de France going on with covid-19 being a thing) I’m still excited and looking forward to it. I’m hoping to spin a sweaters worth of fleece from the stuff I’ve processed, but first I need to take this mulberry silk blend off of my wheel. This stuff was NOT fun to spin at all. It was slippery, and while it looks beautiful, it just isn’t the fiber for me.
Bring on the tour!
Finally reached 80 in fishing thanks to hanging out with the husband doing some ocean runs!
Sure, why wouldn’t I go fishing in this outfit…
