[Ansteorra-Textiles] What's everybody up to?

[Beth Ellis]

MessageYou know, one of the nice things about being on lists like this one is that when I hear about what all people are doing, it motivates me to get out of a slump and back to creating.

Unfortunately I didn't get to go to KC this year, otherwise I'd probably have been in your knitting class.  And you are right about the time - having an hour to teach sounds like forever, but when you are actually doing it (and trying to cover everything you want too), it ends up being far to short!

  Hi, Corrinne!

  Good to hear from someone - it has been quiet.

  Textile-wise, I'm still knitting up all this yarn someone gave me.  It's all acrylic, so it's going into blankets for my foster Chin to take home with them.  Nothing too exciting there.

  Sewing-wise, I'm in all sorts of trouble!  I have a giornia started for The Husband; if he'd stand still long enough, I could do the tapes inside <sigh>.  Have two dresses going for a friend's daughter, still beading the jacket for another friend, and working on a cloak for yet another.  And then there's the 10-gore I started with another friend - man, they're so much easier than I thought they'd be!  What they have to do with a late 15th Century Venetian, I'm not clear on, but it's fun to make them anyway.

  I got to teach at King's College this year!  Two classes for the Chirurgeonate, and then a beginners' Knitting class and a beginners' Sashiko class.  Next time I teach knitting, I want TWO hours.  It's just too hard to get everyone actually knitting in one.  Sashiko will be a lab, too.  I learned a LOT!!

  Was also blessed with the class notes for cheesemaking, something I'm doing wrong somehow!  And class notes on an easy field pavillion, since my dear husband attended that class.  Man, I'm dreaming already.......

  Steppes' Guild meetings are the second Wednesdays, the fourth is open sewing and bring your best problem.  All are welcome.

    Well, I'm finally back on the list after suffering from months of computer problems.  What's everybody up to lately?  As for me, I re-washed a couple of fleeces last week.  But I'm in spinning trauma right now because I misplaced my carders somewhere.  At least that gives me some inspiration to give the house a really good going over.  They've got to be around here somewhere....

    Grins,
    Corrinne
