Somehow it’s been almost 2 weeks since I’ve posted. I have put a photo or 2 on my Second Wind Facebook page, but they don’t require more than a sentence, so I can do it when I have just 2-3 minutes. Lots to show now, and more is almost done, despite my bum leg. <\/p>\n

On that note, the chiropractor determined that the cause of all my physical ails on that leg were simply the result of incredibly tight calf and hamstring muscles. I’ve had 3 visits with her and am feeling soooo much better.<\/p>\n

First, here are the results of my snow dyeing. I really like the way things turned out, although some required me to try more than once. In the end I decided that I needed to make a new batch of pre-soak.<\/p>\n

And now for the socks. All 4 at once. I like the way the chocolate dye ‘broke’ and showed some purple.<\/p>\n

Then I finished the two pieces on that hand painted purple and red warp. After I got it on the loom I decided I wanted a weft color that really coordinated, so I went back to the basement and did a bit of immersion dyeing – tencel for one piece and cotton for the other. <\/p>\n

I like both, although I still don’t know what I was thinking when I did my planning. These are too narrow to be shawls (which I had intended) and a bit wide for my preferred scarves. Thankfully, many of my customers like wide scarves. <\/p>\n

The fringed scarf has a narrow band of black on each end, and I used my ‘feathers’ treadling pattern. This is the one with the tencel weft.<\/p>\n

For this one I decided to hem, not fringe. I used the cotton weft and switched to a diamond treadling pattern.<\/p>\n

I have 3 more pieces in the finishing stage and another hand painted warp on the loom. I’m hoping to be able to weave more with each passing week.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
