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.

Houndstooth and more....

I got to weave most of Saturday and Sunday afternoon last weekend. In between while resting my shoulders and neck I worked on kumihimo. Choosing different fibers and colors to put together is fun and it's restful and soothing to work on. You don't have to think, your fingers just move and a beautiful braid is finished before you know it. I taught my 8 year old granddaughter when she spent the night Friday and she's doing an "Auburn" braid. I finished three Houndstooth scarves and a 104" yellow table runner and am working on a varigated tablerunner in fall colors. I'm trying to get that warp off so I can put tencel shawls on. October will be here before I know it. I'll put pictures of the blue shawls, houndstooth and runners soon.
