A small project on the side
So Mom and I took a first rate weaving class from Pamela through The Recycled Lamb recently and that was extremely cool! Very different activity than knitting and yet still has a lot of the same neat features working since you're still working with yarn.
So the first project was a simple scarf with the warp done in a solid color and the weft done in Noro, I think it was Silk Garden but I need to figure out what I did with the tag for it.
The second project was a table runner done in cotton, the only real requirement was that we have striping in the warp, and some of the projects folks came up with were just stunning!
A bit trickier than the scarf because I wanted a striped pattern in the weft and didn't remember to measure the cloth as I worked my along so I ended up not having quite enough room at the end to repeat the pattern correctly, but the warp pattern had a certain randomness built into it so I fudged the end and it came out OK. I'll have to ask the hubbie to take some pitcures of the finished work, and maybe I cna sneak over a get some photos of Mom's too.
I'm pretty certain I'll go back sometime, rent a loom and try a couple more projects, only right now I have several knitting things on my plate that I want to focus on first...
