Stacked
Having done an inventory of what I’ve got ready for the fall shows, I was able to tell what colours I needed to make in order to have a good selection for sale. While Mary was here, I wound warps and here are five ready to go. I also noticed I was low on natural…

Piling Up
Four bins of shawls (55) tagged and ready to go into storage for the fall sales. Well, actually, some of them will come out again next week for the Spring Arts Fair (aka Chilli Cook Off). But the ‘recovery’ shawls are now officially done. They were a nice gentle re-introduction into weaving and served…

Distracting Deadlines
My goal for today was to finish weaving the last shawl on this warp. I’m pretty sure there won’t be enough warp left for anything more and I was looking forward to the end of this one and the beginning of the next. But…deadlines. While my goals are a form of deadline setting, there are…

Over the Hump
Again, colours not ‘true’ to real life. The red is darker and redder, not so orange. I have completely lost count of how many shawls I’ve woven. I think this might be number eight. With an expected 12 shawls for this warp, that means I’m very nearly 2/3’s of the way through this warp. It…

Moving Right Along
The cloth is actually darker than this but this photo shows the weave structure quite well. It might actually be iridescent once wet finished although the weft is more blue than purple in real life. This is the end of the second shawl on this warp. I’m really feeling how weak I’ve gotten over the…

It Isn’t Finished…
All together now… …until it’s wet finished. But before that can happen, a whole lot of knot tying needs to be done. By my calculations I believe there are 28 shawls in these three bins to be tied. Doug has already done some sessions pressing what I’ve managed to get ready. Of course, once they…

End of the Line
This is it, the End of the Line. The Last of the Shawl Warps. #18 of 18. Just two more shawls to weave and put a period at the end of it. The rapid rate of recovery after surgery has slowed and, indeed, feels like it has come to a full stop, although I know…

Odd Ball
Again, not quite true to life. The woven cloth looks very ‘pink’ on my monitor when it’s actually an orange/coral, more like the yarn in the shuttle. The cone on the left is about the same colour but a lighter value, while the cone on the right is pretty close although it looks a bit…
