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!
