oh yeah - I also have a big ol' bag of wool that I'm learning how to spin with a drop spindle.

(One has to watch what one says around my aunt. She's an elementary school teacher who specializes in science and was telling us how she gets weird emails from around the country asking science questions. One came from a guy in Alabama (she's in Iowa) and somehow it came up that her students had never seen fresh-from-the-field cotton, so he sent her class a bale of cotton. So I said, hey! I've never seen a fleece, so if you get email from someone who raises sheep, get me a fleece, too. Next Christmas, I get a giant bag of wool roving. Figures....)

Other pending projects include some goldwork. some 14th century German brickstich projects, and more garb than you can shake a stick at. I have about 7 giant Rubbermaid tubs full of fabric, and several quantities still on their rolls.
