Most Recent Shawl

For some reason the ipad app Blogsy.. won't let me post things on this blog.. it gives me a strange error message. So I am back to using my old PC.

I have finally finished weaving my most recent shawl. It took less than 3 skeins of yarn and I used the 7 foot setting on my tri-loom. It amazes me how little yarn tri-loom weaving uses. If I were to knit it.. I would use way more. I know have the loom set up to the 4'9" setting. I am using some of my earlier hand spun. I really love the colors of, I will need to mix two colors to get enough. I am really excited to be finally weaving with my hand spun.

I still need to add a border to this 7 foot shawl.

Yeah.. I got blogsy to work. Now I can post again to this blog.

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)

Back to weaving

It's been a long time.. But I have been busy playing on my looms. This one is almost done
