Itchy fingers

Lately I have been itching to get back to tapestry weaving. I don't have any specific projects in mind, but would like to pack some weft, probably on the Saffron pocket loom for starters. But maybe I should finish my other weaving projects first?

Knitting: Still working on the Habitation throw; not even half done yet. I can't wait to get to the decreases, as then it will zoom along. Or at least, feel like it.
Weaving: I have the second curtain panel warped and tied up on the loom, ready to be woven. On the SampleIt, I have continued sampling, in a spaced leno that didn't turn out like the photo in the book, and Spanish lace. I think the Danish medallions and Spanish lace would look better with wool yarn and a more appropriate sett.

Today I'm wearing these socks and this sweater; winter just doesn't want to go away. (If you follow the sweater link, you will find yourself on one of my old blogs, where I was experimenting with combining fiber and gardening and everything else in my life, but I discovered I did not have the personality for that.)
