FINISHING UP MORE HATS

Doing the finishing work on my hats.
They are first crocheted, then felted ( fulled technically) and blocked.
  Got the electric clippers out to trim the fuzz during the Seahawk game today.

I'VE DECIDED I LIKE COWLS , or weaving is easier than poetry.


I'VE DECIDED I LIKE COWLS

Cowls stay put
no fringe to drag in things like my soup
or my keyboard 
they don't need fussed with
no twisting, knotting, or tucking 
they keep my neck warm
and décolletage covered.
Cowls are chic to wear and weave.
Weaving is easier than verse.


Ok, so enough silliness. Here are some pictures of the cowls I've been making 
for the Art and Gift Show November 19th.

BLOCK WEAVE SCARVES

Finished up the fringe twisting and wet finishing this weekend 
on a couple of  twill block weave scarves in fibonacci sequence. 
I used my J Made loom which has 12 shafts, but these only took 8 shafts.
-- both are 100% Tencel, very slinky and shiny.

They are on a burgundy warp. 
One has a dark magenta weft and the other has a  bright red weft.  





They will be for sale at the gift show in November.
