Afghan project joining squares

I have a bunch of woven squares and was trying to figure out what to do with them. I have decided to combine them into a scrappy throw. I was not sure what would be the best way to join the squares. I tried two different ways..one was sort of a grafting..using a yarn needle and yarn. If the areas are the same yarn and you are using matching yarn this works fine. The other way is to use a crochet hook to sort of do a cast off between the loops. With two loops on the hook move the lower loop over the higher loop then add another loop and repeat. I liked this method the best... Especially since I have a variety of yarns and colors.

Finally finishing my shawl

I must confess I have had this shawl on my Triloom for some time... Now I am in the home from of finishing. I am trying to decide on a yarn for the border. I saw my Triloom teacher today. She does incredible stuff with a Triloom...I would love to be as talented as she is.

Weaving For Relaxation

With all of the nasty viruses going around, weaving can be a great source of relaxation. Whether you are doing rigid heddle weaving, continuous strand weaving or floor loom weaving. It is a great way to express yourself and escape. Our craft can join and connect people in a common interest. The sense of community that comes from sharing weaving can bridge a great many differences .Working with ones hands can bring great joy. The joy and community are also elements of life that promote health. I try to spend some time every day on my craft. Sometimes it is weaving, sometimes it is spinning yarn and most recently I am learning to sew. (Oh the ideas for the fabric)
