With the Foothills show and the holidays sneaking up on me, I realized that I really needed to take stock of what I could get finished.
For example: this is the neglected warp on the Mighty Wolf. There is one completed small tote and half of another. I found my notes....I put on a six yard warp. What was I thinking????
I really love this warp, which I called "shades of gray" but, I'm really tired of doing totes. I think the remaining warp could be a wrap. I have some lovely boucle yarn that will give it texture....I'll keep brainstorming this one.
I warped up the 16 inch rigid heddle for a project that I had wanted to run by Marie. She stays so busy at the Center, that I didn't get a chance to consult her about it. Guess I'll find out if it works pretty soon....I'm ready to start the weaving on it!
I added a metallic silver thread with the variegated yarn as I warped the loom, and that was a challenge at times. It did not want to come off the cone smoothly!!! I had a few choice words for that thread....but I haven't thrown it out yet!
I've been playing around with a sticker design to use for our shopping bags at the shows. I need to find some labels....I really wanted an off white one, but I haven't located any yet. Our bags are brown craft paper, and I'm afraid the white will be too much of a contrast. I'll keep looking.
It's a lovely Fall day outside...temps in the mid 70's with just a hint of a breeze. I should be outside...maybe later. I do need to make a run to the post office.....
Enjoy your Fall day!!!!
Happy Weaving!
