Marsha’s Projects
Poppy Tee: by Jo Cottle. Finished! Used Rowan Purelife Revive in the colorway Loam. Picked up in the NoCKRs 2024 destash room.
Socks: The Artful Ewe Clackamas. Finished first sock and about halfway through leg of second sock.
Emotional Support Chicken: by Annette Corsino. I’ve knitted a bit on my chicken. About to start the second stripe.
Pinot Noir Purchase Targhee: I’ve been spinning the giant (2.2 pound) ball of Targhee roving I bought from an attendee at last fall’s Fort Worden Knitting Retreat. I have dyed four batches of fiber at 4 oz each. A little disappointed that the Spruce and Turquoise, and the burgundy and Hot Fuchsia look the same. May take a break and spin something smaller to get my mojo back.
Kelly’s Projects
New Sweater! Started knitting Graphito by Heidemarie Kaiser. Calling it my NoCKRs Sweater since both yarns are the retreat yarns (2023 and 2024). Seismic Yarns Butter Silk and Invictus Yarns Seraphic–both fingering weight.
Using my new election season project bag from Good Stuff Crafts, Brenda. Check out her store.
Still working on Desert Lavender socks out of Smirligan’s yarn. Soft green, purple and natural white variegated yarn. One sock is finished and I’m on the second sock. Top down on birch double pointed needles, size 0.
Finished a 3-ply skein of BFL: School House Rock colorway from Greenwood Fiberworks
Started carding the washed Shetland for my Shetland Suint experiment. I have only about a good day’s worth of work to get this carding project finished. I hope to finish the carding before September. I started with about 4 ounces each of washed and unwashed fiber from a suint bath process.
