Progress...

It's coming along... The line of red is about 3 and a half inches from being half way done with the entire weaving.

I keep telling myself that the second half will go a lot faster. With about 14 hours into it so far, it better...

Where I've Been

*working on my weaving project:

on the loom:
HPIM3641

up close:
Weaving Lattice

I've unwoven more than I've woven... I have at least 9 hours in this shawl so far... and I'm only 22" into the 90" long piece... but I finally love it :) It'll be a lattice with grapevines winding up... and... the images show the back of the pattern... somehow I'm weaving it upsidedown.

*and spinning yarn:

Next to be plied...Full skein... 30 yards plied!!

*Preparing to teach crochet classes at our little local coffee/yarn/art shop. I think it'll be so much fun. I'm also going to teach coptic bookbinding at Laura's shop...we just have to set it up.

Fiber Passions... Crochet hat

New Hat

This is the first hat I've ever made. It's from a pattern I found online...(the pattern can be found at: Braided Knot ) Mine came out a little different in that I didn't measure and make the braid quite long enough. I rarely use patterns of any kind, so this was an experiment.

I'm loving crochet more than ever.
