Warped

WEBS is evil. You think you'll buy yourself a little bit of inexpensive warp and then you realize that if you just buy a wee bit more of this and a little of that, and heck, you could use another shuttle, you'll get that discount, and well, then, you are cleaning out the ol' paypal account. Curses!

So I have a a few projects in mind. First up, a burgundy scarf worked in a strand of cotton warp and a strand of shimmery tencel. The colors are just different enough to give a lovely depth to the fabric.

Unfortunately, I didn't plan my project well and used up three quarters of my supply of cotton on the warp.

That wee little bit is all I have left of the cotton, plus some on the shuttle. The white is just there so you can see how much I used. I have oodles of the tencel, so no worries there. It should be an easy enough fix. Just order more, but (*sob*) it's on backorder. I'll just have to nurse what I have, until it arrives.

On an entirely unrelated note, we got hail here, the other day.

Hail Hail

The pups think it's fantastic, and I love listening to it ping off the corrugated roof of the overhang outside my office window.

Gee, Thanks, Marnie.

Good god, the things I miss with G around! You bought a loom?!?!? Love the first scarf especially and am resigned to reading more often to followed your wefty adventures. Love, J

Donna:

I've fallen in love with the purple tencel just seeing the cone of it sitting there! Hail is fun as long as you're inside or it's not too big. But then I also love the sound of a good storm!

mai:

this looks gorgeous! i just dont think my wallet can handle another hobby!

Oh man, if you don't stop all this weaving productivity I'm going to have to get my loom out, too. I had almost forgotten how much I enjoy weaving until I saw how much fun you're having.

It looks great!

Amy:

OMG I love purples, and especially those shades together. You're right, WEBs is evil, I went on just to buy some yarn they had on clearence I was using and ended up with WAY more yarn than I should have.

WEBs is evil but at least you feel you got a super deal when you are done shopping. I love the colors you have going! Hope you get your new yarn soon. :)
