A great experience with bamboo 10/2 and a nice huck lace draft that was very easy to do on either side of a period of back troubles and consequent surgery. The first scarf was sett a little closer at 12 ends per cm and woven before the surgery, then I just resleyed and wove on when I could sit at the loom again :-)
This is elegant! I really like the pattern and that blue! I also hope your back is feeling better, no fun:(
Beautiful!! I love the pattern and the color!!
Gorgeous! And very glad to hear your back is doing better too.
This looks very soft and the color is gorgeous. Love the structure, too.
Best wishes for your recovery.

Another lovely, lovely project, Ellen! Your work inspires me in so many ways. I have arthritis that gets in my way sometimes, too, and it really is eye-opening to see the ways you've found to work around physical "interruptions". Thank you for that. And for all this beauty!

Schön, dass du wieder weben kannst! Und wie schön!!
I think the indigo came out more true in these photos. What a classic, elegant piece! Your weaving is always !!! an inspiration to me, Ellen! The fact that you worked this in around your recovery is all the more impressive!
- to all well-wishers and for such nice comments by everyone :-)
I am so pleased myself that I am able to be back on the loom bench after a terrible spring/summer!!I truely belive weaving is good for me in so many ways.
I popped in earlier today and this project caught me eye-I should have guessed who wove it! What are you going to do with the fabric?

Hi Sally :-)
It came out as two scarves, one a little wider than the other, but shorter because I tied on twice and hadn't calculated warp for that.
Hope to see some of your stuff in a minute :-)
This is beautiful. Love the colour too. Ruth told me to have a look at your weaving. Love it.
The drape of the fabric in the photo looks fantastic! This is a beautiful, beautiful scarf! I have a bamboo scarf project to begin soon - my first time weaving w/ bamboo and looking forward to it! Sending best wishes for your back recovery Ellen - I find weaving so (mentally) theraputic. ;)
Thank you very much for your comment, woolgirl. I think you are going to love the bamboo, it has many features in common with tencel, I find.
Like you I find weaving such a therapeutic occupation, too. AND challenging and always inviting to think out new ways and solutions and methods and ....endless possibilities to be tried :-)
Look forward to seeing your bamboo project!
