weaving project # 2


I finished weaving project # 2 with the help of my mother.


To achieve the gray stripes we used a combination of two of our gray yarns. They're slightly different shades, which adds a nice depth to the project. The colored stripes came from my Valentine's yarn. (Keep spreading the love, I guess!!) It's all gone now, though. You can find the other yarns here and here.



This turned out to be a special project, because I set up the loom and then brought it to my mother - who finished it. We plan on starting another as soon as I can get up North and teach her how to set up the loom herself. It's nice to be able to share something with someone that I just learned myself.

Hope you all are surviving this most recent spell of winter weather that seems to be effecting the Midwest and Northeast. Today is supposed to be the last day of Winter.

Do you hear that, Mother Nature? The last day.

    1. Thanks, Julia. Next, we need to set up the loom together - which almost takes as long as weaving a project - but it should be fun. (Winter is still holding on here, it was a cold wait at the bus stop.)

  3. That was fun, can't wait to do some more weaving... but we're a little busy now with lambing - 5 little lambs bouncing around the barn this evening where it's cozy and warm. Not so outside...

    1. Casey, it's so good to hear from you. How do you like the loom you bought? I would love to see images of the patterned scarf you were working on the last day of our weaving class. It was beautiful. Thanks!
