I admit it. For the past two days I haven’t thrown a single shuttle. Why? I spent several hours visiting with friends, old and new, which was very nice. When I had productive time I followed my heart, and the inspiration of fellow weavers and bloggers Theresa (Runamuck Weaving) and Amanda (Weave Away) and worked on making Christmas presents. I can’t tell you anything about them because everyone on my list will get some form of them, but I can tell you that after my ‘work’ time this weekend I’m about half done. Some things went quicker than I’d hoped, others more slowly than I’d wanted. C’est la vie.
I do have 2/3 of KG’s first wrap, with white weft, woven. Above you see the wrap from the top of the loom, and here’s a look as it rolls over the cloth beam…the other side of the fabric.
I am just loving these colors, from the top and the bottom. KG-do you have a preference for which is the ‘right’ side when I hem it?
How pretty is that wrap! The colors are so soft, truly like a rainbow. Glad to provide inspiration! I cut off the last warp ( and three of my apron ties with it.. Dang it! ) and now I have 3 bare looms and lots of warp ideas.
There is a lot of satisfaction in giving myself time to make gifts this year. Good luck with all your creative gift endeavors!
I don’t know about KG, but I’m very impressed with the view from below, showing all the white. Very striking!
Oh my word!!! It’s perfect! I’m in love, and can’t wait to see it in person! Will shoot you an email about the “right” side! 🙂
Glad you’re loving it, Kara!
Thanks, Theresa. I’m glad I’m making gifts that make me happy, I can only hope that the people who get them like them, too. 😉
Thanks, Alma. I’m waiting to hear from KG.
