Marsha’s Projects
Socks: Finished! Use Regia 4-fadig by Arne & Carlos in colorway 03760. I got this yarn from the NoCKRs destash room. A big thank you to the knitter who donated it as I love the colors and pattern.
Ames Beanie: Stephanie Larson. Using Purls Before Swine Hometown Worsted in colorway Seaglass. I ripped back to correct a mistake in one of the cables.
Morgan’s Pinwheels & Checks: Started the fourth towel.
The Weekender: by Andrea Mowry. Using Cascade 220 in colorway Wine. Did not get gauge with the suggested #9 needles. Went down to #8 and still off by ½ stitch. I think the fabric would be too dense going down to #7. Decided to make size #2 which, if the math is correct, will give me the suggested 10” of positive ease. Fingers crossed! I have knit 15” of the body and about to spit for armholes.
Weaving Studio: It’s a work in progress. I met with a weaver who answered my want ad in the Seattle Weavers Guild newsletter. She sold me a LeClerc loom bench which is working great. Plus five shuttles for making rag rugs.
Kelly’s Projects
Finishing the ribbing on the body of Graphito and ready to pick up for the sleeves.
Bought the pattern for Solomon Poncho. It’s been in my queue since 2023.
Also interested in a new Thea Colman vest coming this week named The Last Word.

I travel down to Eugene Textile Center at least twice a year as a special treat for myself. I always have a list, but end up wandering the aisles and dreaming and leaving with a much lighter wallet. I love that place, and the people there are absolutely the best ever.

Listening to your discussion about the age of looms, made me chuckle. My Schacht Baby Wolf is from 1982. I bought it new and it has served me well. The only issue is we think it was the protype as there has never been a serial number on it. However, Schacht is such a fantastic company that they have been able to service it all of these years.
Thanks for a great podcast, I love listening to Marsha learning to weave. I do agree on waiting for the overshot linen. As you can tell from my previous statement I have been weaving for decades and I still struggle with linen.
