Marsha’s Projects

Noromania: I have a total of 24 skeins of Noro Kureyon (Aran weight) to make a blanket for Mark. I’ve knit 20 inches and used 10 balls. I think I need to buy more yarn. This is a fun project.

Anzula Socks: Using two shades of Anzula Dreamy (blue) and Squishy (coral) that I bought at Stitches 2022.

Flowers from My Garden: Starting a spinning project with fiber I bought at Stitches this month.

Finished and washed In Threes baby sweater.

Finished half dozen dishcloths

Started socks for Robert out of Purls Before Wine (From Purl 2 Walla Walla). Colorway is called Glamping so I had to buy it!

On the loom: Crackle lesson from Jane Stafford Guild. 7 yard warp instead of 10. Made the outer stripes wider because of the way I fold towels on the towel rod in our kitchen. Using the two cones of 8/2 cotton that I bought at stitches from Meridian Specialty Yarns
