I received my results! I can now lay claim to an MA pass (with merit) after graduation which is next month! I am very pleased with this and looking forward to getting dressed up to receive my piece of paper!
I've had a serious sort out of my craft room. Now I know what I have - so I can see more clearly what I can make with it all. I appear to have quite a few cones of yarn, so I'm considering building a yarn tree as that should utilise the space in a better way. Added to that, there is a significant amount of small balls of yarn (or indeed not enough to make a ball) - so my plan is to use these up on my Hazel Rose Loom which I picked up at Wonderwool last year. As Wonderwool is just over a month away - this gives me a chance to make some space for more purchases which will undoubtedly be too tempting to leave in Builth Wells! I have started working through my stash, and it's been fun to try and use up all the very small bits and see what interesting colour/texture combinations I can come up with. When I have more squares and less yarn, I'll start on making them in to things. Current ideas include drinks mats, pin cushions and combining different squares to make bigger items.
I'm hoping to have a refresher course in warping my loom soon. For some reason, between the warping board and the loom - it all goes horribly wrong. Quite why this is happening now is beyond me - so I'm going to take advantage of being in Glamorgan Guild of Weavers, Spinners & Dyers and borrow a member to give me some advice.
Other than that - the weather appears to have turned cold once more - so working with yarn or fleece to create items to keep me warm is always appealing!
