Weaving project of the year

I am too busy cross-stitching to do something else, I do hope that I can change next year.
However, I manage to finish a weaving project on my table loom.
I first saw the pattern at the very beginning of my weaving 'carrier' when I only had a rigid heddle loom. It could not be done on it. But now... I can to so many things, if only I could stop cross-stitching.
Three-thread Huck runner on 4 shafts.
The pattern is by Valley Yarns using their cottons (10/2 porcelain blue and 3/2 dark teal.). It is actually Placemats pattern but I wove a runner.
Started 11 April and finished 2 December 2018.

November Finishes

As the year end approaches I have an itching to finish as many projects as possible.
November was especially productive.

Hydrangea by Lanarte. This was my Rotterdam start.

Last one in seasons series and the most favourite one.
The fabric colour is impossible to capture, it is khaki green.

Summer Bougainvillea (canvas work) by From Nancy's Needle.

November was a happy month!

Spinning wool

Finally removed blue wool from the spinning wheel. It was sitting there for almost a year. Somehow it did not work for me, although the yarn is very nice and soft. Maybe some time later....
Started spinning some old sliver from KnitPicks. It may became a garment one day...

Muffins

Tested new muffin pans for my bread maker. Total success. Pans are great, recipe from the booklet is tasty. And four is perfect number. Helps to avoid overeating.

CraftPod Autumn

Latest project from CraftPod.
Mushroom sculpture.
What I like about their projects - they allow me to try new crafts.
What I found out - this one is not for me. Glue is too messy.
