It's been a busy couple of weeks. Thank you DH

Little Peep home safe and sound
Off loom and wet set. It helped alot!
Well Little Peep arrived safe and sound to her new home!  I have been happily weaving since I got over my fear on Saturday.  The first project worked out great and now I am on to number 2.  This one is causing a bit more trouble as the weave is very loose and things tend to slide around abit :)  I am using Ultra aplaca fine, but turns out it's super wash so the little bit of fulling I planned to do isn't quite working out as planned. Oh well, that will just be more practice beating and working on the edges. I am trying to figure out exactly how to use the peddles effective and that is proving to be somewhat of a challenge with sore feet and the like.  Nice thing about it, I can use the hand thingys if my feet are too bad.   I am enjoying this learning process so much.  As usual, I am in a hurry to be perfect at this.  I do acknowledge that learning something as complicated as weaving can take a lifetime to master.  Go figure ADHD and all, I have to master it tomorrow :) .

Project 2 Ultra Alpaca Fine






























The other exciting news is there is a new stocking on the horizon. This one is for Patti and is called Midnight Solstice.  It's not very dark, but that was the name that came to me :)   It's done in 2 shades of blue and white.  I have a while before I will be ready for testing but charts are finished.

Finally, Christmas Cables are with the testers and one of my great helpers is almost done.  WOW. This one took me forever. I decided to add some beads to add a bit of sparkle.  Now it's back to the beach for the final photos.
