So, it’s been a while. A long while.

Enough for me to pick up... well, quite a few other crafts.

Spinning

So, this seems like a natural progression from knitting. I started spinning on a spindle, aaaaages ago after a visit to Cosmeston during a reenactment weekend. Then I got frustrated and gave up, but eventually got back to it. Two spindles later, I bought a spinning wheel, a lovely Ashford Joy. And now I have about a ton of fluff waiting to be spun. More on this on Ravelry, where I now can add spinning projects!

Weaving

Yep. I have a loom. A 24” Kromski Harp Forte. Portable, foldable, lovely to use. My next challenge on this, once I finish the cotton table runner currently on it, is double weaving a blanket. More on this also on Ravelry where I can now add weaving projects!

Sewing

This is totally my partner’s fault, because he bought me the sewing machine. And I seem to have taken to it like a duck to water. In under a year, I’ve made two summer dresses, a more wintery kirtle style dress, several pairs of loungewear bottoms for both my partner and myself (I think it’s two pairs of long ones, two pairs of shorts ones for him, two pairs of long ones for me, and a third one is cut and waiting to be sewn), and have started the journey of a proper 18th century outfit (so far I have a shift, a pair of stays and pockets - bum roll and petticoats coming soon).

I’ll try to put some photos of some of the stuff I’ve made at some point. And to keep this updated more frequently...
