Doctor Who?

 

A little bit of this and a little bit of that...

It's a random Tuesday and we have been neglecting the blog.... so, just in case anyone is reading...

My first lace weaving

 

My first stab at 2-colour weaving... a houndstooth pattern on placemats

Some drawstring tote bags made out of some "holey" cargo pants

The drop-stitch lace scarf I knit for Branwen

The swatch for a brioche scarf I'm designing with some cool colour changing wool!

and back

Not just weaving

Remember that thing I was knitting over Christmas? That green thing that didn't really look like much? Well now it has grown up into a shawl! It took a little longer than predicted but that was due to me running out of yarn 4 rows from the end and having to beg borrow and steal some more yarn!

The pattern is Haruni by Emily Ross. Yarn is Wollmeise 100% merino, Variegated green.

Plain Weaving

Some weaving that I have been working on...
 

Rowan's first weave

For my first weaving project I wove a table runner (or a scarf or a belt, whatever).

The warp (vertical) is a basic green and brown sock yarn and the weft (horizontal) is recycled sari silk that I purchased at the Millarville farmers market. I love how the colours in the silk come out!

Rowan has a new love

For Christmas Jason bought me a weaving loom! It is awesome! I already have a table runner underway in some recycled sari silk!

Specs: Kromski 24" Harp Ridged Heddle loom.

Jason has a new love

My mum (Serena Martindale) gave Jason a bread machine for Christmas.... he loves it more than he loves me! We have already used it for 2 bread items in the last 24 hours!!!

Stay tuned... on Monday I get my loom and then I'll have an inanimate object to love!
