Well, 2023 has been in the books for a week now, and it’s time to start looking forward to 2024. In this post, a quick review of the highlights of 2023 and some plans for 2024.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In 2023 I finished ten weaving projects and 29(!) skeins of handspun yarn ranging from 100g to 220g. I’m powering my way through my fibre stash by combining hand-dyed colourways to make huge skeins. There’s always a spinning project on my Aura<\/a>, and often one on the Joy<\/a> and one on the EEW Nano<\/a> as well. Is three spinning wheels enough?<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

One craft-related highlight in 2023 was receiving 3rd prize at the Ekka for my overshot scarf. The Ekka is our equivalent of a State Fair – crafts, animals, rides, etc. QSWFA<\/a> had a booth where I demonstrated weaving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I have more projects lined up than I’m likely to get to in 2024 – and I keep finding new things I want to weave. As for the spinning, I hope to weave several handspun throw rugs\/afghans. There’s plenty of yarn!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other highlights to look forward to in 2024 include the Majacraft Magic Camp<\/a> in April and Complex Weavers Seminars<\/a> and Convergence <\/a>in Wichita Kansas in July. Looks like there will be plenty of travel and craft in my future!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
