This is 2 scarves I wove. My second ever project. One I kept,
and one for Tracy, my dear daughter. It is woven with the Swedish Mora
yarn which is gossamer thin, but really strong. Never broke on the loom.
It really is an easy Huck lace pattern. Fairly ugly on the loom but
turns into a real beauty when washed. I had a blast when weaving this.
I put on enough warp for 2 sets of 3 tea towels but got adventurous
and after 3 towels made a runner in the red for present for my darling
daughter in law, Lisa. Then I made another runner with cotolin for the warp and
kept that one. It was 5.5 yards of fabric This is the fabric before it was
cut apart and washed. I started weaving for the very first time in November
and finished everything, plus sent for Christmas!
I am more impressed with this than any one else. I never thought
it would go so smooth or fast and that I love to weave like I do.
With knitting, embroidery and now weaving I am NEVER BORED!!!!!
It makes me HAPPY!!! Of course housework and cooking are at the
bottom of the list, but no one is starving either.
themselves this am and the mittens were a huge success and fit!
