Fun:<\/strong> taking care of my adorable grandson for 2 days so his parents can have a night away just for themselves. It’s even fun, of a different sort, I admit, when I have to learn how to use their baby carrier so I can carry him around the house all day on Monday because that’s all he wants in his “I don’t feel good” mode. Well or sick, he’s a gem, and it’s only the tiniest part of my brain that’s worried about the fact that I’m not weaving for these 2 days.<\/p>\n

Not Fun:<\/strong> getting the virus he had. I’ve been down for 4 days now, spending most of my time in bed or on the couch, and a little bit of time working on my rigid heddle loom. I do need to weave off the warp I have on there, which I put on in December for a specific purpose, because I have a woman waiting for a sample that I need to do on that loom. Plus, before I know it, it’ll be time to do weaving demos.<\/p>\n

Fortunately, February had been a great month for me, productivity wise, until the Fun\/Not Fun. <\/p>\n

So here’s the next installment of weaving I did before hitting the couch. It’s Tammy’s<\/a> beautiful colorway, Blue Violets.<\/p>\n

\"handwoven<\/a><\/p>\n

I wove these scarves in a pattern I’ve used many times – Swedish lace blocks running along both edges, with plain weave in between. This simple look is always well received, probably because it’s light and airy and looks great with everything.<\/p>\n

As always, these scarves wove up quickly on my counterbalance loom.<\/p>\n

Time for another nap now.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
