Not up to par...

My goal this week was to begin weaving a lovely deep purple and plum wool/silk warp on the loom for  two scarves that will be on display at the Phila Guild of Handweaver's Annual exhibit opening March 23rd. I warped the loom last weekend and I was really looking forward to getting started on the actual weaving. However, the flu has kept me on the couch for the past few days. I am beginning to get really antsy so I must be on the mend but still have no energy to actually weave.  So I think a lot about weaving.

I don't consider this wasted time.  On the contrary, I have spent a good bit of time reading about weaving, color, and pattern. So, sitting next to me on the couch, aside from my dogs or the cat, is a stack of books.  I'm not bored but I am hoping to get back into the studio in the next day or so.

I'm also prepping for an upcoming felting workshop. I'm a novice felter but I do love the process.  We'll be focusing on creating felted vessels.  But more on that later..I'm heading back to the couch.

Anna's Scarf

A Valentine's gift from her husband.  It turned out lovely, if I may say so myself!  I don't often weave using only a single color and found it to be a challenge.  I'm glad I have really good lighting at the loom.
