New Beginnings Scarf...

 I actually have an empty loom!  So after running errands this morning and making sure all the fires were going, feeding the birds, checking the horses and going for my check-up, I started a cotton warp.  I have so many cones of cotton and I'm tired of weaving towels so I've been working on making scarves/shawls out of the cotton with tencel as the weft.  Normally I do stripes of color, one color, then another.  But here I've blended colors, sometimes using three and sometimes using two at a time.  When I warp I'm going to decide if I will keep them as they are or regroup them slightly.  So my new warp.  Enough for three scarves, 14 inches wide.  

Warp about half done...

 Warp about 9 inches wide

 Some of the cones

Ready to be tied up and transferred to the loom.

But now I'm tired and have to re-check the fires and think about getting the horses in and cooking some dinner...good thing I don't clean or I would never get anything done in the winter!

Oh and the check-up was with my nurse practitioner and everything is fine.  I refused a mammogram because I feel like I glow in the dark after all the CT scans and chest x-rays but she was ok with that.

And I set up another triangle class...this time with the local arts council for March 2.  We'll see if they get any interest.  

Happy Monday!

New Warp in Pink

 I couldn't wait to start a new warp last night...I haven't finished the last black scarf so I can't put it on that loom and I haven't finished the towels either.  Just some incentive to weave today.  This one is going to be woven in chenille for at least one of the scarves and maybe tencel for one and I will see which one I like the best for the third scarf.

Meanwhile, I love all the texture and the color is so girly.

Off to weave...Happy Wednesday!
