Latest scarves woven by me

More heddles for my loom....will be making blankets soon...

Knitting my first sweater

So after scouring the internet to find a sweater that says me I finally found one.
I had hoped to find something with easy to follow instructions...but no such luck. I settled on one called Kauni Oversized which was on Ravelry. So I cast on 380 stitches for the ribbing. This pattern was poorly written so as I am working on this I am rewriting it as I go.

This is a photo of the sweater from the pattern which can be found HERE 

Now doesn't this just scream ME! lol 

As I make this I will update and allow you to follow its birth :-) I will not be using the Kuani Effekt Yarn but am going to have one of my sweet amazing Facebook friends make it for me. She does some amazing Dye Jobs and hand spun Yarns  YARN BABY LLC .

Now to find someone to create my magnificent buttons for this piece of work!.

This that and the other

Working on a variegated brown scarf on my weaving loom....Tomorrow I am warping to start a woven blanket for my granddaughter Sophiya's 7th birthday...I am naming it buttons and bows...because Sophie has a new sister still baking I had to make sure there would be no choke hazards...so I am using felt buttons....I am also working on a few blankets for this new baby who will be named Victoria Kay.....Today we had a F16 fighter jet banking around our town...Everyone is curious as to why we were graced with its loud presence. ...Spring is coming the snow is melting and tomorrow I will be shooting butterflies...

Cowl made from hand dyed handspun yarn..

Learned how to knit...by myself...The first item I made was a cowl....really loving knitting and weaving. Next I will crochet as well. I am determined to learn all of this as soon as possible.

I think I am officially a hooker

:-) not that kind silly...A crocheter....I have been working on learning how to read patterns and stitches and can honestly say I am excited and making a shawl for my wedding ceremony.  Plus I am knitting now.  As a lefty it is hard to learn this stuff being in a house of righty's.

Lefty's rule....

Black with a hint of gold

Really enjoying weaving on my Ashford Rigid Heddle loom. I have decided that I need to invest in the 4 other sizes of reeds so I can play with a variety of other sized warps.  I do variegated yarns as the weft for a more colorful color variation.
With the weather being as frigid as it is I find myself staying in and weaving.
Is it springtime yet?

Weaving....my winter pasttime

With a more severe winter than I have seen in years (1978) I have not been able to get out and do much photography. I have taken up weaving and am doing well with it. Aside from potholders as a kid I have never really done this.
