Not satisfied with belonging to two fiber guilds here in town, I have joined the Michigan League of Handweavers and the Weavers and Spinners Society of Austin (Texas). Actually, I was a member of the Michigan one several years ago, to get discounts on classes at the Michigan Fiber Festival. One of my (now local) fiber friends is from Texas, has retained her membership in the guild, and speaks highly of it, enticing me to join. With the magic of Zoom, it is possible to participate remotely.
I hope there is a fiber guild or two where you live.
Knitting: One anklet is ready for the toe, the other over halfway there.
Spinning: During a Zoom spin-in with the Austin guild, I worked on the merino/alpaca blend.
Weaving: *Finally* hung the leno curtains in my bathroom, so now I consider them done-done
Once again, I have been working on the mess I call a studio, partially because the mess had extended to the dining room. Step one was to corral all the handspun into trash bags - TWO big ones! - so I could sort what was not yarn. I also disassembled the Great Grizzly with the intention of selling it, as I never completed one project on it. Now the dining room mess is in the studio in a not-so-messy state.
I don't have any resolutions for the new year. In the past, it seemed like they resembled wishful thinking more than goals. I am hoping to figure out what to do with all that handspun, though. Using handspun has been the theme of a series of programs with the Austin guild this past year or so, and those sessions are recorded. Hopefully, something there will inspire me.
