Throw a Rock in the Jar

The Two Ewes send best wishes for the happiest of holidays to all our listeners. Join us in our last episode of 2024 as we discuss projects, our Winter Weave Along, and a way to think about making space for creativity.  Full notes with photos and links can be found in the podcast section of our shop website: TwoEwesFiberAdventures.com Join the community on Ravelry or become a patron and support the show on our Patreon Page.

It comes from Berkeley, has all its pieces, and is in really good condition.  I'll have more information soon and she says it would definitely be a good deal! Loom #2: There is a LeClerc in Aptos that needs a home. It looks like it's a counterbalance rather than a jack loom. 36" weaving width. Asking price $400, but I think it would be negotiable.  Anyone in the area interested in either of these looms (pick up only-no shipping), please get in touch via Ravelry, Instagram or email ([email protected]).  Marsha's Projects Emotional Support Chicken: by Annette Corsino. Finished! Graphito: by Heidemarie Kaizer. Using Purls Before Swine Robusta in colorways Good Jeans (blue) and Toxic (pink). I've knit about 8" of the body. Ames Beanie: Stephanie Larson. Using Purls Before Swine Hometown Worsted in colorway Seaglass. I was about to start the decreases when I noticed I had crossed one of the cables the wrong way. I need to rip back. Socks: Using Regia 4-fadig by Arne & Carlos in colorway 03760. Finished first sock. Knit about 3" of a second sock. Weaving Studio: I got the warping board back from Kim and everyday plan to wind the warp for four tea towels. Still haven't wound a warp. It has been so long that Kim has borrowed the warping board and raddle a second time! Kelly's Projects The woven squares blanket is finished and on the sun room sofa livening up the sad beige couch. I still haven't washed it but I decided against the crochet edging.  Charity hats using leftover acrylic from Faye's flower blanket. Fleece prep: Continued a little more carding of the sticky 2018 CVM. And I have a whole box of California Red picked and ready for the carder at some point.  The curtain fabric is on the loom and there is both warp and weft and it's more than just the header and the hem.  Winter Weave Along Going until March 31. Show us your projects in the Ravelry thread. If you aren't on Ravelry consider joining just so you can talk with us about your weaving! Challenge: Between now and January 1 do a kind of weaving that you haven't done before. Possibilities: New to you weave structure, different form of loom, make something you never thought of making before, e.g. decorative braids or shoe laces, use a fiber you haven't used before, use a wet finishing method you haven't used before. End 2024 with a new weaving skill.
