A little more organized

In my last post, I bemoaned my lack of organization regarding fiber and everything associated with it. However, I was able to easily locate the silk scarves and art tissue. That was because all of the aborted craft projects my granddaughter started are in one place. That is the secret - put everything in one place. And I started to do that.

One of the double closets in my bedroom is now the roving and commercial yarn stash, and it is FULL. It's rather shocking, as I have enough fiber to last me the rest of my life - and yet I buy more! A cupboard in the "studio" contains all my handspun, and the closet in the same room contains all the fiber I've dyed. There is more organizing to do, especially regarding little tools, but this is a great start.

Knitting: I actually feel like I am in the homestretch regarding the Habitation throw. It's knit on the bias, and the decreasing rows are getting shorter and shorter.
Spinning: I finished 3-plying all the Shetland. There is still a bit of roving left, so I have been trying to spin very thin singles with the plan of 2-plying it, then joining the plied yarn into "bundles" for tapestry weaving. We'll see how that works out.
Weaving: I advanced a bit on the skyline tapestry on the pocket loom.

The Three Rivers Festival started this weekend. The one event I always attend is called Art in the Park. My observation from today's visit was there are a lot of new vendors, which is exciting. I made a few purchases, like this weaving. It is three coaster-sized works done on the same warp. This will be a good example to take to the tapestry workshop in August.
July is also the month for the Allen County Fair. I'm gathering candidates for my entries. Last year I didn't have much competition, but hopefully some of my fiber friends will join in the fun.
