Took the day off to prep for Thanksgiving. Got the stuffing made and the bird stuffed. Made apple, pumpkin, and pecan pies with gluten free crust. About to collapse in a chair, put my feet up and do some knitting. 🥧🧶

Tuesday night vibes. Half way through #knitting the button band on this cardigan, and then the longest sewn tubular bind off ever because it must match the sleeves and tubular cast on. Looking forward to knitting something different soon. 😆🧶

Watching the playback of last night's @AEW Full Gear, while finishing knitting up this sleeve. This audience is hilarious, chanting BALD PEOPLE to the tune of Hurt Syndicate's entrance theme at the first 4 entries in the Casino Gauntlet, and then HE'S NOT BALD when Danny Garcia shows up. 😆 🧶

Looked over half of my 8# Corriedale fleece from NYSW 2025, to bag up to wash on Black Friday. Compared to the Romney cross from a month ago, this has lots of short/2nd cuts, 4oz so far. Some locks were partly full length and partly short cut. Maybe a new shearer? 🤔 🧶 #handspinning #yarn #handspun

Hell is a pile of "finished" knitting that just needs ends woven in. There's 5 pairs of hand knit socks that have been languishing on my desk for 2 YEARS, just needing ends woven in. Today is the day!

Here's some clean locks! The rest is a jumbled mess on the drying rack. It's SO SOFT, and ranges from silver to charcoal grey. I'm waiting for my combs to arrive from the Woolery.

I never heard of Zuca bags until I started looking at what people were using to transport their EEW6. Thought it might be overrated. Found one new SUPER cheap on Mercari, and yeah it's perfect. 😆🧶 My first spin on the EEW6.1, no plan, just vibes. I think I'll call her Clotho. #handspinning #handspun

Recovery day today after a fun filled weekend at NY Sheep and Wool. I mostly picked up fiber for spinning, including 2 fleeces!
I also snagged a gently used Brother drum carder on eBay a week before, so perfect timing on that.

I may have pre-gamed my NY Sheep&Wool trip 🫣🧶. My justification being I didn't see either of these vendors on the vendor list. The green sample is the same Cormo silk blend that I ordered from @hipstrings.bsky.social . I LOVE this green, I need more of it!

The second skein was also very kinky and curly, but not as much as the first. A soak in hot water seems to have made a huge difference! Drying out in the sun this morning. Definitely taking a break from merino for a while, I think I'll try some Polwarth next. 🧶 #handspun #handspinning

🧶 Adventures in plying continue. It looked like I had done a better job on this one than on my previous skein. At least it did on the bobbin, and the niddy noddy. Took it off the niddy noddy and damn, what the hell happened? I still have 4oz more in singles of this to ply a second bobbin. #handspun

It's only going up to 69F today, and I LOVE IT. I have recently threatened to move to Canada just to escape the 85+F heat. GIVE ME AUTUMN!!
It's also Hocus Pocus season, so it's time for the usual October coffee mug at work.

Plied up some singles last night. It's...ok? Not over spun like my last project, but it's like too much twist came out in plying? IDK. Still needs to be washed.
This was 4oz of merino top from my LYS. I think after I ply the rest of the merino singles I have I will try some BFL. 🤔🧶

One pair of Halloween socks off the needles for #FOFriday, and another Halloween pair cast on. The finished pair is in Desert Vista Dyeworks, probably my longest WIP. Started them in 2020, kept forgetting about them. The new pair is in Crochet Cove yarn from 2021. 😆🧶🧦 My stash likes to marinate.

Picked up an EEW6.1 and some accessories for my Ashford last month. Spent some time getting to know the EEW this week. There were hiccups when I forgot to put the back end bearing on, but it's good now. I guess I officially have a "flock" of wheels now. 🧶

My antifa great grandfather sunk Nazi subs. And I got a whole slew of Irish and Polish antifa great uncles who also fought fascism.

UGH, mattress stitch. I love you and I hate you. 🧶
The body of the cardigan is done, working on seaming the shoulders tonight, then it's just sleeves and the button band.

Spinning people, I have a bobbin problem. My second-hand Ashford Traditional came with 4 bobbins, but the bushings on one of them narrower and it won't go on the flyer. There is nothing inside blocking it, lazy Kate wires go through. Can this be fixed? 🤔🧶 Wasteful to just toss it.

This second bag of merino is giving early 2000s Hardy Boyz. 😆💚💜.
Second guessing plying these two together... It could be interesting, it could be terrible. I might want that green and purple all by itself 🤔. We'll see what happens when I'm finished with the 4th bobbin. 🧶

Ooh, bobbin number two is much better than the first. Next up, two more bobbins of a similar color and it all gets plied together in a two ply. 🧶 My second spinning project all by myself. 😁

These Schoppel 🧶 balls were a little deceptive about how much pink was in them when I bought them. 😆 I still like it though.
7.75" inches in. Pattern says body needs to be 12.5", but I need to double check the schematic about that and a big bust adjustment.

Progress on my Pressed Flowers cardigan. 6.5" long, I need to go look at the pattern to remind myself how long until I reach the underarm. 🤔🧶
My very ambitious goal is finishing this for Rhinebeck NY Sheep & Wool.

Last day of the fair! Everything placed except for my gluten free zucchini bread (accidentally entered into the regular zucchini bread category) & my knitted shawl. Confused by the knit shawl not placing, especially considering what took 2nd. Crochet shawl was a contender for Best In Show. 🧶

AAAAAND, these are the knitted and crocheted fair entries. That colorwork hat was a nightmare weaving in ends. 🧶
I won't have any idea how things go until we take the kid to the fair this weekend. 😅 Such a long wait!
