A few weeks ago I got confused with the numbering of the weeks, so some of you saw last week’s post when it was labelled week 39.  I have corrected the wrong ones and it is now genuinely time to share the third quarter snapshot!

Knitting

I have made some progress on my hat. I am not sure if I have enough yarn to do another cable repeat…we shall see next week!

Weaving

Rigid heddle loom

I finished weaving my Earl Grey Towel and on the same warp did a different pick up pattern.  Details are on the Ravelry page for those interested. 

To use up a tiny bit of warp I used some of the 8/4 cotton as weft as well and sewed this pouch.  Not sure what I will keep in it but it was nice to see how these would feel using the 8/4 in weft as well as warp.

Other News

Obviously a lot of this week was taken up weaving and sewing the towels, where else did it go? Not sure this week.

Below I share, mostly for my own benefit, a snapshot of my list for this year (YOP15) and the progress that I’ve made on it so far. 3 months left to go and some items have been carried forward since YOP9! I should maybe dust some old projects off this next quarter and work on them so that they don’t get carried forward again. Weaving I’ve ticked off a couple of older projects, which is good.

Usually at this point in the YOP year I would have done more knitting and felting. I didn’t get motivated to felt the lampshades this week, maybe next week.

See you next Sunday!
