It's time to recap 2013.
Looking at my Ravelry project page, I think I completed over 30+ projects. I know that there are some that aren't listed, like my plain jane socks that I knit and some weaving projects that are done but just aren't hemmed yet.
The highlight of my year was the trip that I took out to the Pacific Northwest with my husband. I attended a week long weaving course in Coupeville, WA, and my husband did sightseeing off by himself while I was in class. We stayed at a refurbished firehouse which was like an apartment - it was our "home away from home". The weaving class with Madelyn was great, I fell in love with the area and we are starting to make plans to move out there someday.
One of the things that I never mentioned on the blog is that I got another loom. I added a Louet Megado to my herd of looms.
This is a 16 shaft, electronic dobby loom with a 44" weaving width. So Much Fun - but I really need to find time to be able to work on it (that may be happening this summer!). I have a second warp beam on order, but that hasn't arrived yet.
We had to do some room shuffling again, so now I have two studios upstairs. Right now, I have an 8-shaft Mighty Wolf, a Wolf Pup, and a 4N4L Baby Wolf (at the shop) in addition to the Megado.
I haven't done much spinning since the Tour de Fleece this summer and my spinning fiber cabinet is pretty full with some beautiful batts, so I will be getting back to that soon also.
My youngest daughter got engaged over the Christmas holidays! So, I am knitting her an Evenstar shawl for her wedding veil.
We had a health scare with Josie in December. She was diagnosed with a Mast Cell Tumor, but luckily the pathologist's report came back ok. It's not benign, but they were able to get nice, clean margins so we should be ok.
Otherwise, I'm working (too much), Wilson is working, and there's not a lot of time for other things YET. As I alluded to earlier, that might change in the near future. We'll see.
