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.
comments always welcome

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.
PUGET SOUND ARTISTS GIFT SHOW - NOV. 19th
Mark your calendars for November 19th
My handwoven scarves, cowls and felted hats will be on sale here:
