An "Ah ha!" Moment


I finally tightened up the warp sett from 30 to 45 epi.  I am using a 15 dent reed, so I switched from 2 threads per dent to 3.  I think if I were to back it down to 40, or 4 threads per dent on a 10 dent reed, I think it might look pretty darn good!  This is the best one by far... and I really like these colors together.  I have hope now...

David loves his new knit cap!!  I saw this yarn and had to make him a little hat for the cooler weather!


It fits his personality perfectly!

Catsup and mustard, and nothing having to do with food

I can't believe January is almost over, and I never even shared my Christmas towels I made for family!  "Where is 2016 going?" I'm already asking myself! Here are the Christmas towels that I promised to show you so long ago!  These were so much fun to make and didn't take as much thought to do as you would fear! I didn't follow any particular pattern. When I sat down to thread my loom, I did more of a profile draft style threading but I didn't write it down first I just do it from my head. Same thing for treadling- I didn't have that written down first I just followed a profile-like draft from my head. So it was all somewhat of a surprise to me as I went! The towels I made were from 12/2 cotton.  I warped 6 yards, and the epi was 24. Made 8 towels total. Just a little reminder... When threading for summer and winter…. block 1 = 1 3 2 3 block 2 = 1 4 2 4 block 3 = 1 5 2 5 block 4 = 1 6 2 6 block 5 = 1 7 2 7 block 6 = 1 8 2 8 David is, of course, grow...

Today's color is... BLUE! Look at all those blues!  I also finished crocheting another kitty... one in BLUE and one in green!     Now we have a family of 4 kitties! They really do multiply fast! Wait a minute... one of these things is not quite like the other... Mr. Gnome, how did you get there?

All threaded

It's 100% done, but riddled with mistakes.  I realized only when I was done threading the constant mistake I kept making.  However, I'm all the way through now and it's only a sample mainly to test color, so I'm really not worrying about them yet.  If I want to make it into a towel, I can either start completely over or fix them and then tie onto the warp.  Chances are I will pretty much always choose staring over from scratch. David's eyes look just like the eyes on his toy!  haha
