I haven't been here very much for a couple of months, so thought I'd prove I haven't been slacking!  A hat and headband, knitted with some of my handspun. flic.kr/p/NXqdnK Some blended batts:- Merino/silk/Angelina and some of the spun yarn, first attempt at chain plying, so it's a bit overplied - but usable. flic.kr/p/NPgZotSome weaving - more a sampler than anything, but it's a long warp, so may become a small blanket. I'm learning a lot of "what not to do"!  flic.kr/p/NX5XKB |

Sorry Judith, my connection is saying it is not private and there are problems. Hope others have better luck.

All beautiful Judith. The hat and headband have such wonderful patterns, the batts and yarn are a scrumptious color combination and the weaving looks very professional to me. |

You certainly haven't been slacking! The weaving is wonderful and the hat and band are very intricate - also love the batt and the yarn looks great to me.

Judith, all of your work looks lovely! The weaving is spectacular! Is that a measuring tape on the right? What weren't you happy about with the weaving? My frustrations are with the warping, never the actual weaving.
Love your handspun....so envious! I have to pay top dollar to purchase handspun from spinners. Spinning is not in my future.

Thanks Cathy. Yes, a tape measure, it helps me keep track of how much I've woven onto the cloth beam. Warping can be frustrating!!! I wasted a long warp recently - I used some of my handspun felted single and as I was a bit short, incorporated some commercial single which seemed OK, but shredded on the heddle. I now have something resembling a heap of spaghetti which, I suppose, could be put to use in the present challenge. Another lesson learned. As for the weaving, I was hoping to be able to make it into a jacket or gilet, but not sure how it will look as a garment. At worst, I can cut and sew to make a small blanket. I'm having fun and that's the main thing. |

You definitely haven't been slacking. It looks like your well on your way with weaving. I love looking at what everyone is weaving on the studio looms when I go into my guild.

I agree with what everyone has already said, your weaving is so neat and I like how you creating your pattern, love the batts and spun yarn, and I really love your knitted head wear, isn't it great fun to produce something from beginning to end :-)
