how is it the end of #yarnuary already? idk. time is weird.
I am planning a new linen sweater and I am arranging my color palette so I can make some plans. Rosie is here to help, because of course she is.
this yarn is from colourmart, I love their wind-it-yerself bargain bin. I think it's a fun challenge to start with a limited set of colors. left to my own devices I only buy jewel tones, but my clothes are mostly neutrals so buying a mix of both is perfect for me (and cheaper too!)

longer term goals for this year are shadow weave (y'all are going to love that) and plaited twill.
I bought some new books and they are so full of interesting ideas! the double two-tie book is especially exciting, because it has some very cool things you can do with twill. I have always been fascinated by plaited twill and now I'm finally going to buckle down and figure out how it works.

#yarnuary goals? well, right now I'm continuing my color-and-lace explorations. I'm catching up on homework for the JST online classes by doing two projects at once. the rainbow curtains were also homework. homework can be fun when there's no grades and no pressure!
this project has a Fibonacci stripe sequence with Atwater-Bronson lace blocks. it's probably going to be towels unless it washes up too drapey. then ... idk. maybe I will wear it! I love wearing orange and pink.

more about tools for #yarnuary
I really like my louet Jane. I have had it almost as long as my big loom, maybe a year less, and we get along so well.
my favorite trick is to sley the reed from the middle out while it's flat in the beater. it is so much easier than working vertically and so much easier than counting/measuring dents. I like that my elbows stay down and my light is right where I need it to be.
