Tungle rate my blocking setup

Blocked to tightly the mats started lifting up so i had to weigh it down

Pattern: (modded) Haruni Shawl by Emily Ross

The fit is a bit more 1930s than 1950s without the tulle netting or fully covered neckline but damn if it doesn't work for me.

Two rows left to go on this spur of the moment project because I want to give my fashionista brother something gorgeous for his birthday that would also completely freak out our grandparents.

Ignore my spotty skin, the cold snap has happened and my moisturiser isn’t up to the task apparently. 🙈

It is time for [drumroll]

📯The Airing of the Stash 2023🎉

Whee!

I'm gonna do this in sections, across multiple posts, mostly for my own recordkeeping/organization. First, the laceweights:

Not so much in this category, despite how much I like to knit lace. These first ⬇️ are all wool, or wool blends. Mostly leftovers from previous projects.

The green & darker blue are merino, that I know, and the dark grey is Haapsalu wool (and there's more of it in a scraps bag I found later). The natural color is maybe a blend with alpaca, and the light blue merino/silk is as labelled.

Next alpaca, and a silk/cashmere blend. Ooh la la!

I took a (small) gamble on this, as it feels nice and there's a lot of it, but alas it appears to be cotton (or at least a plant fiber). I'm going to have to start bringing a lighter & scissors to the scrap shop when I go, and awkwardly asking the staff if I can burn test fibers. I can still do something with it, but it's not destined to be the gossamer lace shawl of my dreams.

Latest spinning project!

I have a little more than 8 ounces of this wool in total. I’d love to make an heirloom-type shawl out of it!

Oh, and I made the spindle myself too.

Solid and heathered colors currently available for commissions. (Or just whatever I feel like, I suppose.) At some point I want to do a pair of knee-high ivory/mustard/navy striped socks, because of course I do.

Backyard camping at a family friend's place is the perfect time to power through the last bit of my top - hoping to block and sew it this week. . . . . . . #craft #crafts #knitting #wip #laceyarn #laceweight #knittingoutside #knittingoutdoors #purple #backyardcamping
