I just realized that I’ve never posted this new guy to the blog. It has been a big hit and Randy is being kept busy in the shop. They are cute, don’t you think? Anyway, this is the loom the previous blocks were woven on, in case you were curious.

Aren’t they pretty! Daughter Karen planted these when she was in high school and I look forward to them every year! There are other bulbs up and blooming around the yard as well but this is my favorite picture. It was nearly 70 degrees today! Got lots done today and even opened up the house, [...]

This is how I spent my birthday! Crocheting this scarf out of the denim strips that didn’t work for the shawl, it’s the stretch denim that proved to be too fragile for weaving. Worked fine here, tho I did add a blue carry-yarn with it. I also did laundry and oiled some looms. A pretty [...]
