Who am I kidding. I don’t have ‘free time’ I have a short attention span. Nevermind that I have 3 floor looms (ok, only 2 work at the moment – if you want to get the 3rd in working order, give me a call). I also, have a delightful little Cricket loom from Schacht (ok, I am a Schacht Dealer so if you want one, give me another call).
Anywho, The other day I warped up something and got a few inches done… and was totally bored. Totally. It could have been because the warp was lighter than the weft by just a few shades, it could also have been that both were solids… or it could have been I was bored because I found this in my stash:
Lang Mille Colori Big #24 that somehow made it home from The Yarn Cupboard with me. Now doesnt that seem to be just a little more exciting? I thought so. I grabbed the scissors and cut the current project and it’s few paltry boring inches right off the loom. Warped with 2/24 merino in black and set to work. Here’s the progress, and I love the color changes – though the flash seems to have made the most recent color change a little more stark than it is in person.
I’m going to be teaching a wee little weaving class on this bad boy come this Thursday at The Yarn Cupboard - there’s a space left, last I heard… give Susan a call over there if you want to join in the fun. (Welcome to the dark side. We have cookies.)
