Spinning in Circles

My plan was to weave 4 scarves using the beautiful novelty yarns I bought a couple weeks ago and handspun yarn. One of the novelties I thought would look great with a variegated yarn but when I spun that up earlier in the week, it didn't look good together. The handspun yarn was really pretty but just not right with the other yarn. So I decided it looked good with some pink fiber I had carded up but that darkened as it was spun and so when it was finished, it didn't look right with the novelty either. Now I am spinning some khaki green that I also had carded up and I know this will work because some of the yarn is already done. So I did a lot of spinning this week and still have no warp yarn done. If I do another bobbin of the variegated yarn, it will make a great scarf and so now I have 5 scarves planned. Hopefully, this weekend I can finish the green and wind warp on Monday or Tuesday.

I am also starting a series of purses made with handspun wool woven bands. I would like to weave 10 or so in this series but if we find a house to buy and move, those plans might change or get sidetracked. Anyway, I have started weaving the first bag in purples and rose. I have the next 2-3 planned and then will work from there.

For a month or more, we had planned for this Saturday to be our first hike of the season in the mountains, but it snowed so much this past week, that probably won't happen. Maybe next Saturday.
