Another scarf



I finished a scarf this week. I call it "The most expensive yarn I ever bought scarf". It's made with just a simple garter stitch the way, It's silk and very nice to touch. Not warm, but who cares - I live in south Georgia!

Dish Towels






I finished another project on the loom. This time I made dishtowels using a roespath technique.Hearts, boats, flowers cherries and sheep. I love the sheep towel. I think I will make more of these. I thought the purple flower might look good in red for Christmas and the cherries may look like grapes if done in purple...

Tri Loom Shawl


Well I decided to make a triangle Shawl. Ist I had to make the loom...lots of drilling and lots of hammering in lots of nails. But It worked! I forgot to take a photo of the loom - maybe next time.
I used the Easter Surprise yarn and it looks great except I mis measured my fringe and ran out of yarn!! So I am going to spin up some Gulf Coast Native and dye it to match. Meanwhile I took it off the loom by attaching brown yarn temporarily to the edge. It looks really nice. I like the natural plad look from the verigated yarn.
