Its a new year, what are you working on? Are you washing, carding, dying, felting, spinning, weaving or just admiring your fluff. Did you get something interesting for Christmas?
I got no fluff for Christmas but I have made some picture blanks. I want to have try at a rock wall. a combination of needle felting and stitching on the wet felted blank I think.

I haven't 'got back on the horse' yet after all the upheaval of Christmas.
All I've managed is another re-arrangement of my working space (it never ends does it - but I live in the hope that one day I will achieve perfection) and some thinking/sketching.
edit - oh yes, and the first challenge of 2020 has been decided and the forum blog post ready to go out tomorrow.

I’ve gone into wet felting overdrive. My palms are really shiny and I’m not sure if I still have fingerprints! I’ve been looking forward to January as I don’t have lots of other commitments so I’ve mentally marked this as studio play time. I’m having lots of fun experimenting and look forward to sharing some of the results. I’ve even done a draft of my guest blog a week ahead of time - so unlike me not to leave everything till the last minute. The only drawback is that my tiny studio is in an old industrial building and is largely unheated so I’m wearing lots of layers and find it difficult not to get my many-layered long sleeves wet.

Have you considered protective arm sleeves? When i did a search these came up but I would think there are many different kinds and many sellers. link |

I am looking forward to seeing what you have been doing Lindsay. Yesterday I plyed the thick and thin fibre I spun the other day.
