I didn't want to sideline the knitting project discussion... so what kinds of projects do people have going right now?
Mine are primarily spinning - tussah silk top on a drop spindle, which at the rate I'm going could last me the rest of my life; another two drop spindles with two different kinds of wool; and a handpainted superwash merino on the wheel. I just plyed off another 520-yard skein of that particular wool last night, and I think I have about enough wool left to make another skein that size. By the time I'm done I think I'll have about 2400 yards out of a pound of wool.
The loom is also... well... looming (I know... I should have let that one go). For that I'm still in the early learning stages, so I'm going to burn up some of the acrylic yarn from my early knitting days. Right now it's just sitting in bins and taking up space.
