Crafting 365 - Knitting, Spinning And Fibre!

The fact that it has been over two weeks since I last posted just goes to show that life has been crazy, in both the sense of crafting, dyeing and blending, and a little Monkey occupying the remainder of my spare time (Wasn't sleep overrated?). So I've given in to the fact that my wishes for weekly updates on the progress of my Craft 365 Challenge are more likely to be be 2 weekly twice a month (and hopefully not longer! Here's having my fingers crossed on that one!). So here is my progress for the second half of January :) Lots of photo's and links back to my shop for those items that are available for purchase.

Day 15
More "Frozen" spinning

Day 16
I finally managed to wash and dry the skein that I plied at the beginning of the month. It wasn't much today, but it was something and it had to be done!

Day 17
A pink square

Day 18
Another lot of rainbow alpaca

Day 19
A little more progress on my wheel spinning. I'm thinking I might try a different wheel at this point the spin isn't as smooth as I would like...

Day 20
I didn't get much time today, but I did manage to start a variegated blue square on my blanket. Hopefully I'll finish at least this square before the end of the month!

Day 21
More of my "Frozen" spinning

Day 22
More rainbow Alpaca and Superfine Merino - this lot is destined for batts! ;-)

Day 25
"Deep Ocean" Deluxe Mini Batt
"Deep Ocean" Deluxe Rolags
Day 26
 I continued spinning my wheel spin on a different wheel today and I'm much happier with the feel of the spin and the progress

Day 27
More spinning... I only started with a single 50g batt at the beginning of the month and I'm determined to finish it!

Day 30
I finished the Blue Square!
Day 31
I Finished my "Frozen" Spin!! It has been so rewarding to finish a spin in a month, something I haven't been able to do for over a year!


So far I have managed to be able to craft everyday for an entire month! I am both amazed that a little person allowed me to manage to do this and that no matter what I always managed to find a tiny bit of Mummy Crafting time :-) I wonder what the next month has in store!

Happy Crafting!
Liz :-)
