plans for tdf '23

Y'ALL. it's time. it's an excuse to spin more. it's tour de fleece.

spinning!me is super disorganized -- i only own one (1) spinning tool (a drop spindle) -- so i'm fully prepared for a we'll-burn-that-bridge-when-we-get-to-it kind of tdf. that's not stopping me from having Plans (TM), though!

in the interest of not ruining everyone's feeds, i'm going to keep yelling below the cut.

(also, if you don't want my hopefully-daily updates on spinning, i'll be tagging everything with #tour de fleece and #tour de fleece 2023 if you want to block)

in general, i want to spin and post progress every day. i've attempted to do daily progress things on instagram, but i always chicken out because of the Aesthetics (TM). here on the hellsite i can only hope that i will not be such a terrible pedant about lighting.

PROJECT 1: MERINO/SILK FRACTAL 3-PLY

first off is finishing what's on my spindle right now. i've got about 1/3 of a ply left to go on a fingering-weight fractal 3-ply spin in merino/silk (dyed by emily c gillies for luck of the draw december 2022). i've been working on this for WAYY too long; i started spinning it in, uhh, february.

here's the breakdown of the milestones i want to hit:

07/01: finish spinning the ply

07/02: wind a plying ball and start plying

07/04: finish plying

PROJECT 2: PERUVIAN WOOL 3-PLY

next up is another wip... kind of. i'm working on a sweater quantity of handspun -- i have one skein finished, but the rest of it has been on hold while the merino/silk takes up the spindle.

this yarn is a dk-weight 3-ply in a heathered fiber (knit picks wool of the andes roving in indigo heather). i have some leftovers on two of my makeshift bobbins from my first skein, so i'm hoping i can just slide the cops back onto my spindle and connect new fiber.

i have 800 g of the fiber, and will probably need at least 700 g for the sweater project, so... i think this should probably take the rest of the month (and beyond).

nonetheless...

PROJECT 3: DORSET WOOL CHAIN PLY

i have two GORGEOUS 100 g braids of dorset (again from emily c gillies' luck of the draw, this time for june 2023). there's an orange/pink/purple/blue gradient, and there's a coordinating pastel green/blue/purple/brown tonal.

i want to spin both up into lace/fingering-weight yarns to combine in a knitted project. to preserve the gradient, that'll get chain-plied, and i think i'll do the same on the tonal just for consistency (and because how does anyone split braids in 3???)

~~~

and i'm pretty sure there will be absolutely no time for anything else, so. that's a wrap for my @a-tour-de-fleece plans!

Major Yarn Stash Update

Greetings! On September 18th 2019 I decided that I needed to downsize my enormous yarn stash. I wish that I would have added up how many grams of yarn that I had at this point but I didn’t. However, if I remember correctly I had over 600 skeins of yarn at this point.

1631 days later I have 614 grams or just over 6 skeins of yarn left. I figure that it will take me close to a month to use the remainder of this yarn in these scrappy blankets.

To celebrate my successful yarn stash downsizing I took advantage of some leap day sales at Knit Picks and bought a bunch of yarn! I will share all of that yarn after it arrives.

Its Been A Long Time Since I Had A Finished Object.

Here is The Mulberry Ear Warmer by Crazy Hands Knitting. I used size U.S. 10 (6 mm) 14" straight needles by Boye. The yarn is Knit Picks Brava Bulky in the Peapod color way.

The ear warmer is 19.5 " (49 cm) long, sewn together to form a twist. It doesn't look stretchy, but it will stretch to fit a wide range of sizes.

Current WIP!

Still working away at this squishy fisherman's ribbed hat. I got a long way to go, but my knitting time is few and far between.

I decided to treat myself to a needle case! I've been planning on making myself one for a long time but never got around to it, so when I saw this one covered in sheep in sweaters I decided, fuck it, and bought it. Now the way I've organised it...I decided to include both my interchangeables and DPNS, the way I've done this is included one needle from each set into the size printed pockets and then the rest of the needles alongside my swatch gauge live in the zipper pocket. I added in the black pouch to hold the interchangeable cables, little metal key things and the stitch stopper thingys that I don't know the name of.

Should I be finishing the cardigan? Yes. Did I have extra yarn and a need for seed stitch? Also yes.

Here's a quick project I worked up while I had COVID a couple weeks ago. Fast to dress and weave as a palette cleanser from the frustration of the Christmas towels.

I used knitpicks Dishie cotton yarn sett at 8epi for two hand towels and a washcloth. I bought the yarn originally for some Purlsoho knitted dish towels, but found it to be a little too heavy and absorbent. Like, they got wet and stayed wet.

Tin Tiles dishtowel by Purlsoho in Dishie Kenai:

It was a fun challenge to calculate what I could make with what I had-- all I've got left now is 34g of the orangey brown.

Here they are right off the loom!

And washed up:

I used the draft I designed for the first project I did on my own, which was lionbrand Touch of Linen sett at 10epi. I really like them, they're wonderfully soft and drapey. I'll probably make a separate post for the stuff I've made with the Touch of Linen yarn.

And here are the samples I made with the Yarnworker sampling looms I got for Christmas! Blue fringe is 12 epi, orange is 8. You can see I also played around with different fringes-- I don't really like the way regular fringe looks and twisted fringe takes a long fucking time. I'm interested in like a knotted macrame sort of situation but I think I need to actually look up how to do it instead of just making it up lol

Since it didn't fit with all the FO pictures in the previous post, here is my end-of-2023 WIP: Aeria by Linnea Ornstein in Knit Picks Chroma Fingering (Black for the background and Pixie for the lovely stained-glass-esque gradient!)

I'm also working on a Cat Season Scarf by Lisa Hannan Fox, in theory, but the Aeria has thoroughly captivated me so it will be getting finished first. XD Those short-row neatly fitted leaves and that lovely gradient are irresistible!
