We made it to Friday!
Cheers to us.
We made it to Friday.
​
This week has been that slow one I knew was creeping up on me, after a good solid weeks of productivity.
This week my productivity looked like naps. 😅
​
It's not all for nought; last night I managed to pull the herringbone project off of the loom and get it into the wash after trimming the fringe.
It's significantly shorter than I intended (by no means long enough to be the scarf it was supposed to be), and that's something I'm going to have to work on going forward. It's difficult, but I have to remember I'm still learning the ins and outs of this whole weaving thing, and while I don't feel like I have a strong beat, it's clear that I need to practice some more and measure my picks as I go.
That said, I love the fabric and I'm very happy with it overall.
The front and back of the crochet top from last week are both finished and waiting to be seamed and finished, and I'm nearly finished spinning the singles for my fractal spin. I have not restarted the orange lace shawl I'm knitting, but rest assured I'll get there--it's too pretty not to.

I do plan to be live Saturday morning on Twitch, though I'm not sure if it'll be a chatty hangout or a quieter production stream. We'll just have to wait and see.
Please enjoy your Friday and your weekend, and thanks for spending a few minutes with me for a very short update. :)
Take care,
Liz 🌿

Good morning, folks! Today Ive decided to enjoy some beautiful autumn weather and write to you from my patio, so this might be a more-words-less-photos kind of letter. Up until just a couple weeks ago, it was still regularly in the 90s here, so highs in the 60s and 70s are very welcome! On Wednesday I took some time to refill the bird feeders I've left languishing for a couple months (sorry birbs), and now there are sparrows every time I look outside. My resident Anna's Hummingbird is also...
Hello, friends! While I stumble my way toward making this a weekly letter, I'm here with some much-needed updates and lots of photos! But first, how are you? How was your September? Have you built or changed any crafting or life habits? What goals are you working toward? Have you satisfied one of your former goals? Has there been a shift in your focus with the season change? Have you embraced the pumpkin spice? Eggnog season is barrelling toward us, you know. I've largely been spinning,...
Hello, friends! I feel like I haven't had much to tell you over the past few weeks, but I felt inspired to write again today. I've been listening to some great podcasts and good books recently, and surprising myself with new ideas that will require a few brainstorm sessions. It's hard to talk about having ideas, because I'm one of those people who can't talk about an idea itself or it will go away. Before I go public, or really even talk to close friends, about A Thing, I have to take action...
