See the shuttle? It has a name and date on it. It is from the 1800's. I love old things. They make me wonder who owned it before me. What we they thinking? What did they look like? What did they wear?
The other thing I worked on was the Lervad loom. This is the prettiest loom I have ever seen. It got all out of whack in the move so today that is what I worked on. Origonally it was tied up with ropes. I find them frustrating. I like to use Texolve cords. They make the job so quick and easy. Now this loom is almost ready for a warp. I think I will make scarves on this loom. This picture was taken in the old studio.
Well. that is all I have for today. I hope you all are staying warm. We had a couple of spring like days but now winter has returned.

The rug looks great! I really like the use of alternating the blue and white weft. I bet it feels really good on your bare feet, too!!!
That is a beautiful loom, it is almost like a piece of furniture!
What a luscious rug!
I love old shuttles and weaving things, too. I bought some stick shuttles that were signed by a previous owner, and that inspired me to do the same. So, I now but my name and the date I purchased it on the item (usually shuttles) so that future users of it will have a glimpse of its history.
I just love that rug. Looks so comfey.
That is a pretty shuttle & loom. Your rugs are inspiring! ~Marta
