Blues and Grays

It has been cold here this week, colder than December usually is, more like January cold really. Today isn't quite as cold as yesterday it could be because we have grey clouds overhead. On days like today we really look forward to spending our day at the Center where our friends are waiting to chat while we work on our projects. The projects today have a lot of gray and blue in them, there is the occasional gold and brown but on the whole the blue/gray family. Betsy is weaving with wool on the barn frame loom, we have been talking over what could be done with this glorious fabric and I think Betsy has some good ideas.

Laura changed the threading and the tie up on the baby Mac! This is the same warp that the lawn chair towels were on.

Linda is almost done with her placemat warp, in fact I think she should finish it after I left today.

Rhonda has also changed her pattern from the original project!

Liz #2 is working along on her placemat warp and she already has a warp wound for matching napkins!

Jenny brought in some of the Gansey books she had for me to look through, and here are my knitted swatches from the yarn I brought in last week.

Guess what? It is time for Show and Tell! Rhonda brought in some sharp scissors for the Weavers to use here at the weaving Center. The scissors have lanyards attatched to them!

Betsy says that this should be a Patty show and tell but Betsy wove a shawl with this fabric and found that she never wore it! She brought it to Patty to make a top and you can tell by Betsy's face that she is so pleased!

Last year Linda's Sons brought some wool yarn back from a trip to Scotland. She wove them a scarf each, making sure that there was a random quality to the wefts!

In January we will be starting our "What are you waiting for?" challenge. My challenge is to get better aquainted with my sewing machine and sewing in general and to make things I can use and wear. Well I couldn't wait and so yesterday I made 2 tote bags out of 2 feed sacks!

Last week Mark challenged anybody to bring in the ugliest scarf they had ever woven. Nobody did except him! We all told him to take the ends off and make a mobius scarf, then Judith would be happy to wear it!

That is all I have for you today! We will be back next week for another fun filled day with the Tuesday Weavers, come and join us! Until then this is Tina, for all!
