Thinking about 2019...

Spinning

Emily -. Did wwsip, then lent my wheel to Sarah at my LYS I’ll get it back for the new year for all of my plans

Karla - Went to the Spin In - Enhanced the stash

Best laid plans

Emily - Commit to knit is almost in the bag. Apex, Vanilla socks and one more pair of socks Thinking about making them with a pattern to spice things up, but I’m worried about being able to knit them while visiting in Dec.. After that do the t shirt for a yarn review, and start spinning for a sweater. Promised Ains a cardigan with all the buttons we see at the LYS.

Karla - knitmas, stockings, secret santa, gift exchange

Crafternoon/Sew-what

Emily -Making halloween bags, put the handles on wrong, but got the button holes in for lights so it all works out. Also have started a knit night in Sooke and it’s taken off!
