thinking about weaving

Does thinking about weaving count? If texting while driving is not allowed, I am pretty sure that weaving while driving is also not allowed.
Too much driving this week. hopefully soon, I will get more weaving done.
Til then, I will just think about weaving.

Oh, the flying monkeys



warping in the dark. done it before. not that hard.

warping in the dark with flying monkeys? Not for the faint of heart. (see photo)

Went to 'The Wizard of Oz' at the Childrens Theater Company in Minneapolis. always a pleasure, wonderful show. Tried warping during intermission. should maybe have written a pattern draft first...

My warp needs one slight adjustment before I can weave.

I will add photos as I am able.

Then I will weave.

nearly done on the first coaster.
finished the first thrum warp.
ready to begin weaving for the balloon bag straps.

3 down, 30 to go. How many day's 'til Christmas?

made yarn doll angels with 2nd thru 6th grade children-with laryngitis. whispering instructions to non-fiber translators/human megaphones was awesome.

having a cold makes it hard to care about weaving, or holidays, or anything for that matter.

Maybe tea will help.

warping, weaving, waffling.

wove on the inkle, and warped a nomi. we'll see how the nomi warp turned out. I took thrums.... yes thrums, from my friends floor loom and and tied two groups together one by one with an overhand knot to make each individual warp double the length. I kept the color sequence, and may end up with something beautiful.
found the camera.
lost the camera.

off to bake cookies.

missing camera

stupid missing camera.

how am I supposed to take pictures of my finished weaving without the camera?

At the weavers christmas potluck I had 2 balloon bags, 1 balloon bag bag, 2 knitted baby hats-one with ties, one soon to get ties, and two-thirds of a sock.
Now for more coasters. yes, just because I can.
