Friendship Baby Blankets

Just getting started!
Kit from Cotton Clouds (though I’ve expanded it). Warp 8/2 cotton, Mayan Hands Dye Project. 632 ends, 120″, sett 16 DPI.

New Stuff

Always finding interesting things at Weaver House.

Weft for scarves, perhaps?

The legendary Mary Meigs Atwater. Originally published in 1928, this edition is from 1951.

Blazing Shuttle Scarves

Gradient warp in 10/3 Cotton from Blazing Shuttles. Weft, Valley Yarns 8/2 Tencel.

Extra warp, 8/4 Cotton, playing around with Fiberworks, designing in the tie-up.

Christmas Project

Charlotte Bartlett (Toika Liisa) wasn’t empty long! Beaming on today. Silk’n Linen from The Fiber Studios at Yarns to Dye For (rather wordy name, but lovely yarn).

Colors: Pearl, Sage, Corsica & Cameo

Recliner Bob is done and gone!

Finally fixed the mistakes, washed and pressed. Overall, fairly pleased. The fold line is crap, but it was my first DW project. Probably should have started smaller 😉

But it will be in Texas in plenty of time for my dad, for Christmas, and hopefully, he’ll love it!

Valley Yarns’ 2/10 Merino Tencel, 16 EPI &PPI, finished size 82 1/4” x 42”

So close

About 4″ left to go. Anyone notice how the end block is taller than the others? Should make for an unintentionally rippled edge. Luckily, since it’s a blanket, I don’t think it will be too noticeable in use.

Easy to see why this has been a long, slow project. So many broken threads, tension issues, not to mention my first full project in DW.

As it’s a gift for my dad, I tried to weave with good thoughts, but it was not easy! If I take this off the loom and it doesn’t completely open up, I cannot be held responsible for what I say. And how much I drink that night. Just sayin’…

2021: Year of the Sample?

Meet Mr. Beebe

ISn’t he the cutest thing? I’ve always wanted a Gilmore Wave loom! They sell out so fast, that I couldn’t get a small, but I’m really loving the Mini. This warp is from a trip to Vavstuga many years ago, I’ll show it in use when it’s all done.

Obviously not a good day…

Why I thought that lower ivory square measured 4″, I’ll never know. Let’s not even talk about the broken threads every 6″. And I’m definitely not showing a pic of how many different weights are hanging off the back…
