It’s been so long since I’ve woven lace, I’d forgotten just how much I like this weaving. Especially as scarves — they thread quickly, treadle easily, and the weaving just goes so fast! Plus I’m back on my sweet little counterbalance loom.<\/p>\n

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

I used a variegated cotton warp and solid-colored rayon wefts, 2 in blue and one in green. Instead of fringing these I’m going to sew them into infinity scarves. In my mind I’m going to make several more infinities in other colors & designs. I hope I get them done before the show season starts.<\/p>\n

I ended up with only 2 scarves out of that last warp. I started the second in the same tie up & treadling as the first, but a brighter blue. The weft was a bit heavier yarn (5\/2 instead of 8\/2) which didn’t work so well with the pattern, but the killer was the selvedges. I could NOT get them to look decent no matter what I tried. So I stopped. Again figured it was better to waste thread than time.<\/p>\n

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

So I changed the tie up and treadling pattern and wove the next scarf in a pattern I do really like. Should have done this from the beginning. What an amazing difference between these two scarves, beyond the colors!<\/p>\n

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

The yarn for the next batch of wraps arrived, so tomorrow I’ll start measuring that warp.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I’m making a few improvements to my home to try and get it sold quickly. On Friday men came and put a whole lot of stone on my driveway, which had been washing out for a few years. It needs a few good rains to help settle it in, but it makes a much better first impression for a potential buyer. I’m hoping I can get other men here in the next week or so to do the other things I have in mind. Sometimes scheduling is hard.<\/p>\n
