"Show and Tell" is a lot of Unfinished Business!

We can start with what is on the looms. Betsy is weaving a Hopsack Table mat and Liz is in the middle of threading a hand dyed project.
Marilyn is threading her new project. She is going to be weaving an Indian Pebble Weave sash, it took some figuring to settle on a way to thread the warp that made sense. Sally and Patty are deep in conversation about her new project.
"Show and Tell" is next and there are several finished projects that fall under the catagory of the "Unfinished Business Challenge. First we have Jenny that bought a loom that already had a warp on it. There were no notes about the warp but Jenny chose a pattern and finished weaving a scarf this week. She also has decided to take apart a sweater that she had almost completed. There was a lot that she didn't like about the pattern and she felt like the fabric was too open for the yarn. So that is 2 projects that were unfinished business, now finished (or undone) for the Challenge.
Betsy finished some bowl cozies this week and Linda wove some lovely towels with yarn that had been in her stash for years! (qualifying for the Challenge as well!)
Dana finished some towels in Huck lace using lots of colors and I finished re-knitting a sweater that I had first knit in 2022 with yarn that had been donated to the Center at least a decade ago! I had to go down a needle size and a pattern size to get the perfect fit. (Qualifying for the Challenge!)
Way back when Mark got his first loom he decided to put a bookmark warp on it. He wove one and decided that it was too thick for a bookmark. Recently, he finally wove the rest of the bookmarks and brought them in today. We told him that they would make great rugs for doll houses! Anyway, that project too qualifies for the "Unfinished Business Challenge"
I am so proud of our weavers, getting some stagnant projects out of the "work in progress" pile and making them ready to bless the world! That is all I have for you today, come back next week and see what we get into! Until then this is Tina, for all!
