This week has been pretty busy, what with the eBay book auctions for the guild (and me) ending every day of the week, plus getting ready for the weekend workshop.
Somehow I never seemed to have a lot of time to get to the loom(s). 🙁
I did manage to finish off the placemat warp, weaving a mat or two here and there, and then got a silk scarf warp wound and onto the loom Friday. I started weaving last night after class and got about half of it woven before my energy totally petered out. But it’s looking nice and will make a good sample of the 2/20 silk yarn I’ve been dyeing. The weft is Bambu 12 black.
I decided to take my rigid heddle loom up to the guild room and worked on that while the students worked on their looms. With only two students, if I don’t have something to do myself I tend to hover overmuch, which is not good for the students.
Since I’d woven a scarf at craft drop-in on Wednesday we wet finished that scarf so that they would know how to wet finish. I didn’t quite get the scarf on the rigid heddle loom finished today, so I left it at the guild room to finish Tuesday night at spin-in.
Since I’m pretty tired I don’t think I’ll fire up the AVL – rather I’ll go work on finishing the silk scarf and cone off two more skeins of a different colourway to pop into the loom as soon as the blue/black warp is done.
Currently reading Poltergeist by Kat Richardson (this series is set in Seattle and since I know some of the neighbourhoods and landmarks she mentions, it’s kind of fun)
