Bucket list(s) revisited

After executing a search through my blog for "bucket", I found several references to fiber bucket lists. Have I made any progress on any of these? Let's see.

From April 9, 2023: 

• Dyeing: 
• With mushrooms 
• With lichens 
• Precipitate natural dye from the dye bath 
• Weaving: 
• Double weave 
• Weave with two heddles 
• Spinning: 
• Chain-ply 
• Core spinning 
• Projects: 
• Weave rugs from tee shirts 
• Weave rugs with all the rug yarn I have 
• Weave rugs from "rags" 
• Weave with "plarn" (yarn made from plastic bags)

From December 29, 2024:

• Sweaters:
• Adult-size baby surprise, using acid-dyed Cascade 220
• Imitate one from the cover of the Fun Times (local Parks and Rec publication)

From March 1, 2026:

• Weaving:
• Italian hemstitch

Hmmm. About the only items on these lists that I have accomplished is learning to chain-ply and playing around with core spinning (and not very successfully). Are these bucket lists still important to me? Is there more I want to do? Less? Something to ponder.

Knitting: The toes are done on the latest pair of socks and they are on their way.
Spinning: The Polish merino is plied, mostly three-plied with the leftover bits chain-plied.

We may not live by bread alone, but I am still exploring baking with sourdough. This week I made scones from the discard, plus baked a third loaf. My starter is finally beginning to develop a tang. I'm also learning that, since my house is a bit cooler than most, the dough needs more time to rise.

Speaking of scones, I think it is time for my afternoon tea break. Ta!
