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.
