Marsha’s Projects:  January Blanket: Handspun Manx Loaghton, 3-ply aran weight, 1,460 yards. Decided to add one additional 15 stitch repeat so I cast on 192 stitches. I went up a need size to #9 and have knit about 34 inches. Estimating it is going to be about 4’ x 5”
Noromania: Bought 18 skeins of Noro Kureyon (Aran weight) to make a blanket for Mark. Swatched with #8 and #9. 
Falkland/Silk/Merino: about 800 yards fingering
EEW 6.0 Electric spinning wheel from Dreaming Robots. Spinning some Polwarth roving.
Kelly’s Projects: Continuing to work on the Coloresque Wrap Erin Kurup using the Neighborhood Fiber Company rustic fingering gradient set Shades of Turquoise. 
Finished weaving on the Monk’s Belt Weaving project. I got 7 towels and enjoyed the process. It isn’t my favorite weave structure, but I like the results better than I thought I would. Still need to cut them apart and hem them. 
Current piano songs: Happy Birthday (deadline coming soon!), Take Me Out to the Ballgame, and Star Spangled Banner for Baseball spring training.

Marsha’s Projects:  Ben’s Sweater: Whoohoo!! His sweater is finished!
January Blanket: Handspun Manx Loaghton, 3-ply aran weight, 1,460 yards. Decided to add one additional 15 stitch repeat so I cast on 192 stitches. I went up a need size to #9 and have knit about 28 inches.
Noromania: Bought 18 skeins of Noro Kureyon (Aran weight) to make a blanket for Mark.
EEW 6.0 Electric spinning wheel from Dreaming Robots.
Kelly’s Projects: I finished what I set out in the last episode: the angel from the knitted nativity scene kit, a bumper for Minnie’s wool cat bed, and a warp for Monk’s Belt dishtowels.
I started the Coloresque Wrap Erin Kurup using the Neighborhood Fiber Company rustic fingering gradient set Shades of Turquoise. This was a door prize from the NoCKRs retreat several years ago. I started this project as Stitches West knitting, but couldn’t follow the pattern in that setting and gave it up. Then I lost the yarn for at least a year! It is really more of a wide scarf than a wrap, but it might block out bigger than it looks. 
I’ve returned to working on the spirit yarn mohair vest. I will have A LOT of yarn left over. I think I could have made a Garter Squish blanket.
Monk’s Belt Weaving project: I am making dish towels rather than the placemats in the JST episode. I started with what I thought were neutral gray and brown and once they were put together they look a lot like lilac and orange. We talk a little about the way colors work in weaving and how the brain and preconceived ideas also affect the way we interpret colors.

Marsha’s Projects:  Ben’s Sweater: I thought the end of this project was in sight but boy was I wrong. I had finished both sleeves down to the cuffs and was waiting for Ben to try on to see if the length was good. When he tried it on we discovered the sleeves are too tight from the elbow to the cuff. Argh!!
January Blanket: Handspun Manx Loaghton, 3-ply aran weight, 1,460 yards. Decided to add one additional 15 stitch repeat so I cast on 192 stitches. I went up a need size to #9 and have knit about 13 inches.
Noromania: Bought 18 skeins of Noro Kureyon (Aran weight) to make a blanket for Mark.
Kelly’s Projects: Knitting on the angel from the knitted nativity scene kit.
Planned for the next two weeks: 
Add a bumper to Minnie’s wool cat bed
Wind a warp for Monk’s Belt weaving
Ongoing: Piano, 9 songs
Hark! The Herald Angels Sing, What Child is This?, Angels We Have Heard on High, O Come All Ye Faithful, O Christmas Tree, O Holy Night (longest song), Away in a Manger (with chords), Auld Lang Syne, Grand Old Flag
