Playing Catch-up

I've been horrible about updating again! I've finished the Alpaca Tartan scarf, started and finished the Easter Scarf, and have started another project. None of my finished projects are washed, but that it easy to fix!

Here is the Easter Scarf:

The warp is 50% merino wool and 50% silk in "plum" and "daffodil" The weft is handspun rabbit fur (no animals were harmed!)

This is the start of my new project. They're a set of napkins as a gift for someone. I'm making 3 sets of 4 napkins and each set will have a different color stripe. They're going to be really cool because I'm making fringe all the way around! Super nifty!

Operation Tapestry Completed!

Here it is! All finished and off the loom! Now I get to move on the the thing I actually like and want to do ;)

I also should mention that the ABC quilt was gifted this week :) that is also a very happy ending!

The quilt is done!

It is completed and ready to be gifted on monday! I washed it so that it was all nice with the least amount of pet hair on it as is possible in my house :p but I'm not going to wrap it so that I can show it finished to my friends before I hand it off. I have no idea what to do with my free time now :p

And Another!

I just need to wash my sampler and then it will be all done and fancy! I also need to trim the fringe so that it is even on both sides, I'm not sure if I want to do that before or after I wash it. Because me and my Mom finished our first samplers so early we get to make a second one! Our teacher doesn't want us starting the next project until after spring break. I have chosen four different weaving patterns for mine: cord weave, pebble weave, a pebble variation, and something called bed ticking which is basically what they use to make old school mattresses out of. I am making mine wider and longer to be used like a shawl. The first sampler is 10" by 36" this one is going to be 20" by 48" when it's finished. I've chosen a really nice orange and a soft muted brown that really makes the orange pop. :)

It is finished!

So I finished the 'scrap scarf' today! I like the way it looks, I still need to wash it though. I took a bunch of pictures!




This is the part that reminded me of quilt squares- the darker purple is 9 square with a little extra ;)


And the fringe! Bonnie helped me out with taking it off the loom. Now that I'm done with this I am WAY behind on the first project so I'm going to try to go in tomorrow afternoon and get the next project started. Hopefully that will get me pretty close to the rest of the class.

I'm am oddly surprised by how sore weaving makes me! My lower back is a little sore now so it will be hell tomorrow and it makes my legs a little sore - my teachers warned me and I didn't believe them, but they were right!
