Just reeled off the loom, another plain weave check, that somehow miraculously used up the colors of the Donegal Tweed that I had left in my stash. This piece needs all of its finish work done as well as notes composed, and to “hang loose” off of tension for a while, and so I’m on to the next. This one and previous one, will return as finished and fringed pieces to properly photograph. Until then, I’m happy enough to just dive back in the yarn drawers and resurface with another warping to attend to before the end of the day. People are asking me, almost worried, what has happened to knitting? Am I finished with it? Will I return to it? The answer is simply that for now I am so happy in the weaving, knitting is only on a short sabbatical, and while attempting to convert yarn stash into cloth for a while, my long goal is to work back to spinning. Also, considering a very large rigid heddle loom for weaving wider cloth, such as throw blankets and table coverings, and what seems to me to be the natural progression of things around here. I don’t see that I will ever grow tired of simple plain weave.

This work looks like it would be so satisfying! I do love the beautiful earthy tones. I can’t wait to see what you do with the BIG one!!
Sorcha, I know it is you. I’m communicating with WordPress to find out why the comments are defaulting to Anonymous . Thank you, thank you , thank you for your cheerleading! xx
Holy weaving Batman! I love this so much! I think I want to weave now but only if I can make a giant blanket. That would be really something to see. I look forward to the day when I can live vicariously through you, Jen while you set up a big loom and create beautiful blankets.

Thank you Virginia! I am excited to tell you that I think the Ashford 48″ rigid heddle loom is a huge bargain, of money yes, but mostly of space! I am all about being able to put my things away, thriving on clean surfaces and decluttering often (clutter is a tribute to chaos and indecision!) So, the 48″ RHL , although does not fold up, would fit nicely in the closet with Abelene, keeping her good company. I will eventually get one of the Ashford Folding Table Looms too I think, and over time, explore table-top weaving until the cows come home!
ps. As I replied to Sorcha’s comment ” I’m communicating with WordPress to find out why the comments are defaulting to Anonymous ” , and apologize about the hassle. So few people comment these days, but the ones who do really I want to not have problems, so I will get it fixed, I promise. Thank you for everything!

All the gears seem to be working fine this time. WooHoo!
