Weaving for presents, you read my mind!! I think I have enough warp left of the loom after weaving scarves for Oli J and TJ, to weave w scarf for my dad. I think he would really love to have a scarf woven by me. He's not really a scarf wearing kind of guy, but I think he would wear, or at least treasure, a scarf I wove just for him. :)

I'm warping my Walling for value gamp napkins (the Lunatic Fringe kit) and also about to embark on a tapestry skill-building study.

My October will be super busy at work.  Nevertheless, I am planning to try sewing with handwoven fabric, and because of my time restraints, have shifted my thinking to using existing fabric.  So last night, I dove into my "to hem" box and found several treasures.  I need to wet finish some before I take the next step, but I also found a wool piece I wove maybe 20 years ago, to make a sofa pillow. I am now pretty excited.

I'm also busy this fall; I managed to over book myself at work pretty much through December.  For that reason I will not be participating in Halloweave (or Spinzilla, for that matter) this year.  I will be lurking and seeing what you all are up to, and weaving/wet finishing/etc. when I have an extra half hour or so.

in a single bound because...

  1. Today I went to a lecture. I am not a Senior. The new label is Super Adult.
  2. Halloweave. So exciting. I will conquer my fear of joins and seams. This will allow me to weave the rugs and bags that enticed me to weaving.
  3. I will focus on creative simplicity when designing projects.
  4. Restroom emblem converted to Woman in cape

hemming for the first few days. Slowly wittling down my pile of unhemmed handwovens. I am hoping that by week 2 - 3 at the latest - I will be able to spend at least a few minutes a day on the floor loom and maybe even feel up to warping my rigid heddle.

You know, Endorph, there are other options.  My sewing involves cannabalizing two unhemmed dish towels.

I would really like to finish weaving my tapestry, finish with a particular braid - I spent most of last night and a lot of this morning doing and undoing this blasted braid, and weave some more on my new-to-me Glimåkra.  That sounds like a lot, I hope I get to it.  I tend to get distracted easily:-)

a couple of my towels may become project bags for my knitting, and maybe a lunch bag too!
