My Model Weaving for the First Time!!





Here is my wonderful model, Katie, weaving for the first time!! I put on some black rayon chenille with subtle streaks of blue, fuchia, and purple for four scarves and helped her get the hang of the weaving!! She did beautifully--not one broken thread!!! -- and I think her mother will be very happy this Christmas! Katie has been so helpful to me, coming over when I need her, riding Duke when I ask her, and all for free!! I can't thank her enough for helping to make my first year on Etsy a success!!! It's too bad you can't feel this scarf because it is soooooo soft and black is sooooo hard to photograph!! :)
Have a wonderful weekend! xo

  1. If I lived closer I'd take lessons from you. I've always wanted to learn how to weave. Katie's scarf is beautiful!

  4. What a great day this seems to have been! Lucky for you that you have such a fantastic model, and horse-rider!, and lucky for her that she had such a nice treat, and for her mom too who'll get the gorgeous scarf!

    And that summer camp idea... sounds like a keeper to me! What fun!
