Sandra, it's looking very impressive.
The fabric you bought for the waistcoat you'll be making is beautiful. It will look great!

maeve posted pics of her current spinning projects - so I took a pic of my current yarns. These are in 3 bags sitting on my trunk, they never made it to the boxes in the bookshelves! Some are new, others came from charity shops, others from a weaver friend who buys job-lots of yarns & gives us what he doesn't want. This can be loose balls & unfinished projects. I tend to unravel the projects, tho I kept the 2 half-tea cosies still on a needle! Attachments:

first time I've used all colourways in a range together. I make coathanger covers for pressies & charity (pics in earlier posts) & it took me forever to use all 6 yarns as I kept trying new yarns as I acquired them! Attachments:

Drum rolls & trumpets - I've finished Margaret's 70 & a half birthday pressie tablerunner (well, 70 + 7/12ths) - did I mention she missed celebrating due to family matters & an overseas tour? Attachments:
