January Musings

It's hard to believe I haven't posted since Thanksgiving. Christmas came and went then New Year's Eve when I had time to weave, finally, I got sick and spent the first part of the New Year in bed.

Over the last few weekends I have been able to get the looms warped. The Wolf Pup has more Orange and Blue Houndstooth scarves. I finished one today to photograph for Etsy. I've got a multi-red warp on the 45" Schacht for V-shawls. I finished the first shawl today and started a second with a very soft, fuzzy red yarn from Hobby Lobby. The Mighty Wolf is ready to be warped with black and white alpaca for 8" Houndstooth scarves. I had a brown striped warp on the Mighty Wolf and had so many problems with it I finally just "cut" my losses, literally. In another two weeks I will be able to weave on Mondays and Tuesdays. I have lots of weaving to do this year.

Fall is coming quick!

My goodness where did August go? I finished up the three tencel shawls from the last posting and I am very pleased with them. I have almost completed warping another set of tencel shawls, this time in black/purple/pink/turquoise. Can't wait to see how they weave up. I finished up the 8" wide Houndstooth alpaca scarves and now have narrow Houndstooth alpaca scarves on the Wolf Pup for Kentuck, and am winding a warp of camel/chocolate alpaca for scarves on the Mighty Wolf and I "think" we've got the Weavebird working, just have to resley the reed. Weaving on it will be a lot different from the other looms, sure hope I like it since Bob has put so much work into it. It should be great for intricate patterns. I love three day weekends. Kentuck will be here before I know it.
