Finally!

Here, at last, are pictures of a few things finished. Gee, I forgot a cool scarf I did. Oh, well. I do not want to fight with the camera again today!

First is the coffee cozy. Boy is it a wonderful thing! My coffee keeps piping hot. Yea!

My DD loves cats and so a cat hat was in order. Fast and fun to knit.

And last to be added is the linen sampler I worked as my first piece.

I have taken several pictures of the loom, but I swear my camera is jealous. It has yet to come out! I hate digital cameras!!!!!

I have a lace shawl in my purse, and a denim Argosy scarf in my knitting bag. I am feeling like felting so I think a trip to my LYS for some yummy wool is in order. I am thinking of a bag for my knitting and maybe a purse for my older DD. If she is good….which she is!

I am excited to try cotton or wool on the loom next. I have the table runner still on and have a couple of days work to finish it. I would sit and weave all day if I could.

I’ve spent the several days this week at the hospital with my sister and am ready for some quiet handwork. Although I did a lot of knitting there. Thank goodness for knitting!

New love!

Well, yes it has been a while since I have written. I have been totally smitten with my new loom! I have always wanted to weave and have had a tri-loom. Loved the triangle loom! Had to sell it. Funny how bills take priority over my toys! Oh, well.

However, my sweet friend sent her Baby Wolf to live with me. I have done one linen sampler/table runner. I’ll find the camera and post pictures. I have just today finished dressing it for a linen wrap. I am loving “huck lace” and the linen is beautiful. Difficult, but beautiful. I had problems with thread breaking today as well as finding I had not allowed enough heddles and so I got the opportunity to make 4 heddles out of yarn. I am exhausted! But, tomorrow I’ll begin weaving.

As far as knitting goes, I finished a cozy for my coffee press; a matching hat for DD; triangle scarf in homespun; dishcloth and scrubbie. I am still working on lace wrap for me and started a pink llama triangle lace shawl to carry in my purse. I want to start a pair of “Snakes on a Sock” inspired by the crazy movie “Snakes on a Plane”. Need just the right yarn for that project.

Meanwhile, DH is back to work after his sabatical. DD is home from college and at work everyday (there is a goddess!) I am loving afternoon thunderstorms again and thinking of my fabulas friends – the Diva’s – in my life. Weaving allows me to let my mind wander and I think of all the wonderful women in my life…those I see and those who are too far to visit with. I miss you Diva’s who are out of town (you know who you are!) and those who have left the planet. I am who I am today because of you all! (This sounds like an acceptance speech at the Oscars!) Enough.

Pictures to come! cheers!
