This week I sewed a pair of slippers -
The pattern is the Wayfarer Shoes by Twig and Tale. This is the third pair I have made. It is such a great pattern - well drafted, with well explained, easy to follow instructions (there are videos too). For this pair I used some linen, that I think was once curtains, for the outside, moose hide for the sole, leftover quilting cotton for the lining and a piece of thick wool, from an old coat, for the insole.
I also finished weaving a set of towels. This is another one of my year of experimenting with weaving projects - this is a different weave structure - Turned Taqueté for the first time.
The pattern is Mission Style Dish Towels from Handwoven magazine, issue Sept/Oct 2015. Warp and weft in 2/8 cotton from Maurice Brassard, and one towel with cotton bouclé warp, also from Maurice Brassard. More details can be found on my Ravelry project page.
Works in Progress -
Another 'new to me' weave structure on the loom.
Over 260 5" Broken Dishes quilt blocks so far - I need 400.
Spinning more yarn for socks, almost finished.
We didn't know how Molly would be with them after the winter, but she is still good.
