Carrot
Once again the colour isn’t ‘true’. The weft is actually somewhat deeper, a sort of grey blue with purplish hints. It looks almost silver here. Since mobility is going to be a bit compromised for the first while, I figured I’d better get this warp actually weaving with the auto cloth advance set and ready…

Math Impaired
All set up ready to thread – I sit on a small stool, using the tall weaving stool as a desk for my threading draft and pencil to keep track of where I am in the sequence. Unfortunately I’m a tad math impaired at the best of times, and right now? Well, not exactly the…

Going, Going…..
…and soon to be gone – hopefully! Over the past few weeks I’ve been worrying away at the piles (mountains!) of finishing that need to be done. There is now one huge (or two smaller) stacks of shawls and scarves that are done to the point of needing their hang/care tags and prices. I also…

Stacking Up!
Recently I was reminded, or at least supported, in the concept of celebrating milestones. This one seemed like an appropriate one to relish – a stack of completed ready to sell shawls. The weaving of these shawls went like the proverbial hare. The finishing, however, is proceeding like his opponent, the tortoise. What many people…

Finished Fringe
And here is how the fringe looks after wet finishing and trimming. One box of yarn and half a dozen silk gimp shawls boxed up, ready to go to the post office. Crossing things off my to-be-done list, one at a time.
