I guess I forgot to hit publish on this. Oops.

Fiber Prep

As noted in my mid-month check in, early in the month I did play around making some batts and combing some of the Corriedale.

Spinning

The blending board sweater project occupied the wheel almost the entire month. The first half was spend spinning the singles and the second half was spent plying. An additional 8 skeins came off the wheel to complete the project.
As a palette cleanser and a chance to play, I spun up one of the drum carded batts. I got the Slow whorl for my birthday and then I bought the Extra Slow whorl. I played around spinning at those lower ratios and ended up making a single-ply mini skein as a result.

I am still slowly spinning the Stroll roving that I dyed. I'm spinning very fine so it is slow going, but most of my spinning time was spent at the Flatiron working on the blending board sweater project.

The Jacob sweater! I have post about this, but this was for the SE2SE Save Our Sheep Sweater Challenge. This is my first handspun sweater.
A pair of World's Simplest Mittens for my middle child. I added in striped cuffs and a very basic stranded color motif to make a warmer pair of mittens for the snow.
A second pair of School Mittens with 3 strands of leftover sock yarn. These were for my youngest.

Newleaf by Jennifer Steingass. I put this back on the needles and picked up one of the sleeves rather than continuing down the body. I am ready to do the colorwork at the cuff of sleeve one.
Festive Sweater KAL Pullover by Skeindeer Knits. I have a few inches done on the body after the sleeve division. This is the easiest thing to pick up if I want to knit and don't want to have to think or pay attention at all, but I still have quite a way to go on it.
Purse Socks. I am working on the heel. I need to put some concentrated effort into these to finish that and then they can be mindless again.
Cottage Garden Hat by Jennifer Donze. This is my Woolly Thistle Colorwork Accessory KAL project. I am using 4 shades of Marie Wallin's British Breeds yarn that was in my Selection Box from TWT.

I had a couple other things going this month that I just frogged or cut off the loom. Life is too short to work on things that aren't bring you joy.

Harlow Worsted. This one was bringing me joy, but I had made some mistakes that I couldn't seem to fix correctly. I had already frogged at least an inch once and so when I made another mistake that still looked wonky after attempting to fix it I just decided to frog the whole thing. I am chalking this up to being a first lesson in brioche. I am definitely getting the hang of it, I just need to pay attention and scan for mistakes more often. Part of the reason I frogged this is also because the yarn is higher contrast than what I think I want to use for this pattern. I am going to come back to knitting this hat, but with two colors that have lower contrast. I was using Brooklyn Tweed Shelter and I loved it in brioche, but I think would rather use it down the road in a brioche hat that has more going on. The higher contrast of the colors will shine be better in a more complex pattern.
Handspun mini skein rainbow fade scarf. I was just playing around with an idea of how to use all my mini/sample/leftover bits and bobs of handspun. I just can't get into garter stich scarves anymore. Between the scarves I knit early on and then all the baby bibs and washcloths I knit, I just don't enjoy knitting garter stitch much. Plus, the yarn weights varied enough that this scarf wasn't working.

I had started a scarf on the RH loom. I was just using up yarn I didn't have any desire to knit with. It turns out I didn't have any desire to weave with it either. I cut it off the loom and tossed it.
