Triangle Loom


I made a triangle Loom!
I used Red Oak and pre-drilled holes every 3/8". Then used a T-square to mark the holes along the lower boards. Then drilled and drilled and nailed and nailed - took a while. I sealed it w/ polyurethane and used bolts so that it could come apart for storage. That's Jackson, my Jack Russell, in the photo so you can get an idea of the size (for those unfamiliar w/ Triangle Looms)
I have decided to dye some wool batts to use as my 1st project on it.
Those pictures are coming soon....

Jacket


This is a jacket I just finished using Dakir Denim Chunky and Lion Brand's pattern for the Swing Jacket.
It's comfy and casual (and machine washable!)

Another scarf



Some of my Weaving/Spinning friends were invited to do a demo at the local University for their recent Timeline Festival. This is the scarf that I made over that weekend. I think I am beating too hard, There was supposed to be more of a plaid effect, and the fabric seems a little stiff.
I'll have to work on that.
