Once a year update - winter


 Looks like I never updated again. Sometimes I miss blogging. I recently deleted the social media apps from my phone but still want to see what fun things others' are up too. There's still blogs out there it just seems a bit harder to find nowadays with the socials as options. I've been looking around discord which seems to have replace forums too. I'll find my people. Maybe I need to start prioritizing going to guild meetings again! 


Here's some crafty updates. 


Pulled a 8/2 tencel scarf off the loom for my mom's Christmas present. Yes, it's February. Better late than never. :)




Still wet and hanging to dry. 


Also measured out a warp for my next set of towels:




This is just half of the 480 threads, it's two different shades of gray. I'm using a kit from Jane Stafford for huck towels. I have a huck book as well, so I'm going to try to do a bunch of different ones. I accidentally used the charcoal for the warp when I was supposed to use the other grays, but I think I'll make some napkins with that instead. And yes, I ordered more charcoal so I could use it here too. 





I also finished this temari a few months ago. I think it turned out really well. I'm not sure about everyone else, but I cycle through hobbies a lot. 


Speaking of that, I learned to knit and crochet last year. Finished a sweater in January and a scarf in October. And a hat.




I think we sometimes forget that these hobbies take time. And that's the appeal of them, but in a world filled with instant gratification it's hard to remember good things take time. 

Farewell for now, but hopefully it's not an entire year until I post again.
