FOs
Elucidate (Ravelry link) hat by Kino Knits, will be part of the Kino Knits E-Book collection (Ravelry link) (Payhip link), on US 4 (3.5 mm) in Rainbow Heirloom Sweater (Ravelry link) (100% wool) in Killer Flamingo colorway. Scheduled for release on October 24. Will go into testing on the Yarnpond platform soon.
New hat design in Honeycomb Hills Hand-dyed Yarn. Listen to an interview I did with Katrina, the dyer, in Episode 069. Currently in testing, scheduled for release in mid-September.
New secret ornament design on US 2 (2.75 mm) in sport yarn from my stash.
WIPs
Same new ornament, but this time on US 1 (2.25 mm) in Leading Men Fiber Arts Show Stopper Miniskeins (75/25 superwash merino/nylon, 92 yards/20 g) in colorways Out Damn Spot, Saffron, Nacho Cheese, and All the Way to the Bank. Proceeds from design and Leading Men sales will go to our local food banks. Looking to partner with more miniskein dyers, as well!
Vanilla socks (Ravelry link) for my brother on US 1 (2.25 mm) in Fibernymph Dye Works Mountain Tweed (Ravelry link) Inversibles (85/15 wool/nylon with tweedy bits, 483 yards/100 g) in colorways O-Red and Soot.
Spinning
Plied my #sistersheepspin as a traditional 3-ply. Got 7 bobbins completely empty, but 2 bobbins still have wool on them (looks roughly the same amount). Can spin more singles to then ply, but not at the top of the list.
Tried to replace the motor again on my Electric Eel Mini - none of the new motors work. As suspected, something wrong with the circuit board.
As of August 22, I've spun 119 days out of my total goal of 200 for 2020.
