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…

Deep Purple Haze
Silly me – I miscounted how many warps there are (or are going to be – I still haven’t finished winding them all) and there are only 18, not 20. I’m actually happy about that. I’d decided that, in the spirit of recovery, I would weave all of these warps before I tried something a…

Ready, Set…
Now that week 8 is half over, and I still haven’t heard from the cardiologist’s office, I’m getting antsy. One way of coping with it was to wind a bunch of shawl warps once Doug had enough skeins onto cones. So for the past few days I have wound 7 warps and pulled potential wefts…

Over the Hump?
This is an old photo, but since my hemming pile is about the same size… Well, not quite – I have actually been hemming the last few evenings and the pile is diminishing nicely. Doug will soon have a pile of pressing to deal with. I won’t go into details, but I have this past…

Carrot #2
So now both looms have shawl warps on them. This one is just two shawls long (about 9 meters), partly because the yarn is a highly textured silk that is very grabby, partly because I’m using up stash (yay!) and I have limited colours to work with. The yarn is 10 epi and I’m trying…

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…
