Quilting the National Parks: 20 Original Designs Inspired by the Beauty of Our National Park by Stephanie Forster

Marsha’s Projects

Hedgehog: Finished! Pattern by PurlSoho. In the destash room at the NoCKRs retreat I found a ball of Louisa Harding Luzia and thought it was the perfect yarn to make a hedgehog.

The Weekender: by Andrea Mowry. Using Cascade 220 in colorway Wine. I haven’t picked it up since I got home from the retreat. Lost my motivation after all the discussion at NoCKRs.

Socks: Wisdom Yarns Wacki Saki in the colorway Batty Berlin. About to start toe decreases of first sock

Spinning: Into the Whirled roving in colorways Welcome to Litchfield and The Traveler. BostonJen messaged me that she used the same braids, plied them the same way, and made a hat. What a coincidence!

Weaving Studio: It’s a work in progress. I think I have finally fixed the problem with the brake band falling off. 

Kelly’s Projects

Spirit Yarn charity hat (gray wool/acrylic blend) started at the retreat This hat is done and I’ve also completed a second out of a tweedy moss greenthat was cotton and modal but felt a lot like Berocco Remix. It was great yarn! Both hats were gone in less than a day. 

Potholders from the potholder loom. I’m a 63 year old woman making my mom a potholder for Mother’s Day. I’ve made two for myself. 

Almost finished with the second bobbin of spirit roving from Pat. Gray Corriedale x Merino fiber that is beautifully prepared (Morro Fleeceworks). Fiber Frolic, Duren Dyeworks

Spring Buckens and Owls (Ms and Os): Woven, washed, pressed and waiting for hems. Another successful batch of dishtowels! 

Chenille rug project: The project to create the chenille strips has begun.
