and a detail:
I've got several other fiber things I'm thinking about, none of which is going very far.
1. Wool shawl using my space dyed mohair loop.
I've been looking for coordinating yarns for the warp and weft to go with this yarn, and I've gotta say, it's been a long time since I've seriously shopped for weaving wool, and product has really gotten scarce! I'm going to have to make some decisions already pretty soon, or start dyeing some superwash. (I want to try dyeing wool with my fiber reactive dyes, so maybe that's the direction I will go. Stay tuned.)
2. Soysilk scarf #2. I started weaving the second soysilk scarf on my table loom last night. The first one was done with a very light beat, but for this one I'm beating it more firmly. The hand on #1 is just fine, if a big gauzey. #2 will be a firmer fabric, but I hope still drapey.
3. Knitting a shrug. I got hooked on the Anthropologie Inspired Capelet knitting pattern last summer. I used Yummy Malabrigo in color Lettuce and this was my project for the 2008 Ravelympics. It turned out great, but a bit on the small side for me, so i gave it to daughter Mel. This one is for me and I adjusted the size of the cast on to actually fit my measurements. I'm just about to start putting the sleeves on holding string and knitting the continuation of the body. I'm planning to make it a bit longer than the first one. Such a pleasure. And so cute!
4. Chenille! This is the line up for my next four scarf warps:
