We welcome experienced crankers, beginners, and those who are just considering getting started with circular sock machines. On the forum there is a FAQ and Registration Form for those who are interested. We would like to make this a yearly event. Marsha's Projects Socks: Using Schoppel-Wool Das Paar colorway Pigment Nebel plus Cloudborn in teal. Finished first sock Oaxaca Journey Bag: by Araceli Gonzalez. Using Prado de Lana. Late Bloomer by Heidi Kirrmaier using Hudson Valley Yarn Sheridan Flats Spinning: Purchased 24 oz of 80/15/6 wool/mohair/silk roving in the colorway Kaleidoscope. The owner said to spin at a worsted weight for best results. Mill is Olympic Yarn & Fiber located in Cosmopolis, WA. Plied three singles but somehow I over plied it. Rag Rugs: Wound warp for four rag rugs and started warping loom. Warp is 4" and 6" stripes in royal blue, green, and orange. Finished first rug. Decided to plan for the next three rugs so sketched some designs. Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress. Garden Redesign: I've created a project page. Kelly's Projects Chenille Rugs Part 2 Started the weaving of the rug, but I'm only about 5 inches in. I got distracted by school starting, the need for a take away knitting project, and some hats. Continued spinning the Romney x Rambouillet that came from the NoCKRs destash. It's a 3-ply, ply-as-I-go project. I'm doing the last topping up of bobbins before I finish the plying. Need to frog and restart the Seatoller Socks by Louise Tillbrook. It's a twisted rib and cabled sock pattern so it is coming out a little tighter than my usual sock gauge. Norwegian red resistance hat from WWII. I'm using Royal Bee DK weight. Made one according to the pattern and it's a bit small. Made the second with additional stitches cast on and longer ribbing section. That worked well. Have a third on the needles that is between the two sizes I've already made. Skein and Needle yarn shop in Minneapolis, pattern by yarncultMN Paul and shout out to Kathy (knitloon) who is a listener! @redhatfactory instagram account for a Norwegian hat company. Travel knitting plans. What do I start? Winter Weave-a-long Now through March 31 Newbury School of Weaving July 18-31, 2026 Conference of Northern California Handweavers May 14-17, 2026

      Back From Oaxaca!
      Jan 25 2026
      The prize winners of our Home Along are announced and we have lots of project updates. Plus, Marsha discusses her fiber focused trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. Full notes with photos and links can be found in the podcast section of our shop website: TwoEwesFiberAdventures.com Join the community on Ravelry or become a patron and support the show on our Patreon Page.

If you participated in the Home Along, listen to hear if you won a prize! The Ewes are giving away three gift certificates to Invictus Yarns and two patterns donated by listeners. Marsha's Projects Socks: Finished! Used The Humming Bird Moon Full Moon BFL Sock in the colorway Eye of Newt. Nicholas Slouch Hat: by Kyle Kunnecke. Finished! Used Sincere Sheep Terroir worsted in rust and Full Circle Wool worsted in natural cream. Socks: Using Schoppel-Wool Das Paar colorway Pigment Nebel plus Cloudborn in teal. Oaxaca Journey Bag: by Araceli Gonzalez. Using Prado de Lana. Sheridan Flats Spinning: Purchased 24 oz of 80/15/6 wool/mohair/silk roving in the colorway Kaleidoscope. The owner said to spin at a worsted weight for best results. Mill is Olympic Yarn & Fiber located in Cosmopolis, WA. Plied three singles but somehow I over plied it. Rag Rugs: Wound warp for four rag rugs and started warping loom. Warp is 4" and 6" stripes in royal blue, green, and orange. Cut three colors of fabric strip so far and started weaving. I'd like to use more colors but only have 3 shuttles. I have woven about 18". Weaving Studio: It's a work in progress. Garden Redesign: I've created a project page. Kelly's Projects Chenille Rugs Part 2 Finished all the chenille and currently warping for two rugs. Last year's first episode was Dreaming about Chenille Rugs! Finished all but the edging of my Sleeveless Vest. I got stalled due to having to pick up stitches around the arms and neck. There really is very little left to go on this project and it will be perfect for work. Lots of spinning! First FO of 2026 is the Combed CVM. I got 224 grams of a fingering weight 3-ply. The spinning was so nice! It was worth the effort to do that combing. That isn't quite the end of the fleece, but it might be the end of the work I do with that fleece. In total I ended up with just over 2 lbs of yarn between this project and the skeins I made from the Carded CVM. I'm also spinning about a lb of Romney x Ramboullet that came from the NoCKRs destash. It's a 3 ply that I hope will be about a worsted weight after washing. I have the first batch plied, but quite a bit left to spin. Also working on Seatoller Socks by Louise Tillbrook. It's a cabled sock pattern that I stashed a long time ago and never used.

      Chenille Rugs Part 2 Finished tying on the warp and started weaving the second pad of chenille . Planning for two rugs again.

      Continuing my Sleeveless Vest by Lone Kjeldsen with handspun from Jazzman's " perfect fleece." Started the front yoke but haven't gotten to the horizontal stitch yet.

      Three more hats finished. The mostly handspun one went to my niece's boyfriend for Christmas. The other is a charity hat. The third is still on the needles and is also made of handspun. A darker BFL that was overdyed blue, red, and yellow. Can't recall the dyer, but I bought the braid at the Stitches in Sacramento.
