Since I already knew about the Hugos... tell me more about the sweater and the weaving! I got into weaving this year and am working up courage to try working with very fine silk on my next project...
The sweater was for vixyish, and can be seen here. Took about a month. Kind of thinking I should do one for myself at some point, out of a nice chunky wool.
Weaving was more of a random thing, I just wanted to get the experience going through the entire process of setting up a loom and using it with a reasonably complicated pattern. Pic here.
Fibers still aren't really a focus of mine, but they're a nice distraction now and then. :)
Nice work in both cases! Impressively even weaving particularly - had you done much in that vein before?
I've mostly been using a small (8"/20cm) rigid heddle loom until now but I'm about to warp a 32"/80cm double heddle one which will be ... a bit daunting. But nothing ventured, eh? :)
