Saturday, September 22, 2007Weaving a sweater. Well, I frogged my sweater... again. This time I decided to weave it. The sleeves will be knitted and maybe the yoke, I haven't decided that for sure but the 'skirt' part is going to be woven. I'm using the special 20" square Randy made for me. I had him make that one for a project I had in mind and after I nagged him to finally get it done, I discovered that I had measured wrong and it wouldn't work! Red face!  So I'm glad to be able to put it to work on another project! lolI finally got some new buttons on the baby sweater and will take those in to the hospital this coming week. Not many babies are born at our local hospital but there's a few who will be able to use the 'fruits of my labors' for the 'fruits' of theirs!  We finally broke down and built a fire. The last ones in the neighrborhood to do so. But Robin was cold.  Poor kitty... we did it just for him. Hope your September is neither too hot or too cold.posted @ 07:59 PM PST [link] Sunday, September 16, 2007After Thought I ought to show what a good job we did with all that mess! So here is the 'after'. Spent yesterday getting the studio ready for the cats. It'll soon be time for them to start staying in for the winter so everything has to be prepared for cat fiber, which they are generous with. Washable afghans on all the chairs. Breakables put away. Yarn safely hidden. Litter box filled once again. Summer is so much easier on all of us! But it was 41 degrees this morning and the trees are showing the first faint signs of autumn. Dust off your looms... it's time to be thinking of Christmas presents again!
