Last night's pictures

So last night came and went. I need to stop saying when I will post stuff as it never happens.

Here is the woven scarf.

Yarns used: Nature Spun in Black and Fleece Artist Hand dyed in Nyoni. There is enough of the hand dyed to do a pair of socks for John or one of the new babies on the way.

And the dishcloth

Needles: Size 4 bamboo
Yarn: Ugly left over Sugar & Cream

The garden was tilled today so will have to rake out any clumps and any weeds that got ground up.  Hopefully will get some stuff planted too. I'm going to wait until the sun goes down a bit, pretty warm right now.

Tomorrow the seniors are honored at Church and we have a potluck afterwards. I'm making a 7-layer salad and a rhubarb cake dessert. I haven't make the cake before but they are always good people to experiment with new recipes. Later that night we have the banquet for the seniors which is really the parents doing skits about their kids. It is kind of goofy.

Weaving weekend

This weekend of weaving was wonderful. This is the scarf I finished during the class. Sam claimed this as soon as I showed it to him.

Close-up of weave.

Warp: Merino 2/6 Fleece Artist (hand dyed)
Weft: Nature Spun, Blueberry

After this was done I warped for another scarf.

The warp colors are green/black varigated and I am going to weft with black. The yarn that is woven at this point is waste  yarn. The look is a Beka loom that the owners of the Yarnery make and obviously sell at their store. (Don't look at the floor, it is horrible)

Some other goodies purchased on this trip:

This is Crazy Zauberball sock yarn. It will be fun to see how it knits up. Sorry for the blur.

Also:

 This is Cotton Ease in Maize. The picture looks more orange than yellow but in actuality the color is more yellow than orange. I thought it would make a stuffed duck for John for Easter.  We'll see if it gets done in time. Okay somehow this got totally screwed up. Hate when that happens.

This is what I won at the Rowan 30th Anniversary at the Textile Center. It was a great time. Met some really nice people and Kris met me for the presentation. (four skeins of Kidsilk Aura, plus the bag -- I love bags).

Snow and weaving

Quick short post before work. It snowed all day yesterday and is snowing this morning - errr.

Will post some pictures of weaving tonight. This past weekend was absolutely fabulous. The weaving class was great, thanks Theresa, it was fun to see Mom, Paul, Kris and Mira and have supper. The Rowan 30th anniversary was really cool (unfortunately forgot my camera) and the Textile Center is wonderful. I think I am going to have to join the MN Weaver's Guild. They have weekend classes for learning how to use floor looms and I'm sure they have classes for 4-heddle looms. I'm hooked. The weekend Yarnover is in the cities they (the Textile Center) is having their garage sale. Several of the people in my weaving class said that it is a really fun event.

Anyway got to go, time to get coffee running through my veins so I quit yawning and turn on the work computer. Hope you have a great day.
