Last Day of 2009

Today, the last day of the year I decided I had better get "to it" and prepare the loom for my next project - shawls.

I am using rayon boucle from Strings N Things
Measuring the warp
Tying on


Almost done with dressing the loom
Ready to weave
Whew. That always takes longer than I remember. This time it took even longer because I haven't woven since last June and am out of practice

  1. And I helped! Well, I held the thread while she pulled it tight. Still, it's nice to be part of an extended process that yields such useful and beautiful bounty.

  3. Giggle, giggle. You are a riot Amy. I finished weaving that shawl yesterday. One of the reasons I like weaving is I can complete a project quickly. I warped up enough warp for 2 shawls. I won't actually finish this one until I woven the second one. Maybe I'll do that today.

  4. I love the variegated thickness of the yarn you are using.
