Fleece to Shawl..

{Before the Bath}

This shawl was woven in about three hours using

freshly hand spun, unwashed, wool.

The yarns are springy-full-of-energy fresh 

off the spinning wheel making weaving with

them a challenge.

Once the shawl is soaked and blocked the yarns will calm down.

This piece was woven during a demonstration at the 

Depreciation Lands Museum.

Now to wash this sheepy thing

Goodbye July..

July was a busy month.

The shawl for the 'Fleece to Shawl' demo is done.

Such a wonderful learning experience, namely weaving with 

"live" yarn - freshly spun, unwashed wool.

Family visits and a wedding.

Multiple trips into town and 

a visit to Phipps Conservatory.

August greeted me on the way to the guild meeting this week.

Sometimes you just have to pull the car over and savor the flowers.

.. hello August ..

Thar she blows..

The loom.

Yesterday was her maiden voyage out of the workroom

and to my first guild fleece-to-shawl demo weaving event.

The spinners were amazing.

Thank you Carol, Annette, Beth, Linda, and Jerry.

The donated fleece was gorgeous.

Thank you Wini.

Lots of friendly faces and kind folks visiting the event.

Thanks Ann, Dave, Carol G., Sarah, Karen, and Marilyn.

I was so busy weaving I completely forgot to 

take pictures.

Today I'll get the workroom put back together and

finish the bit I have left to weave, while listening to the much

needed rain.

Thanks again everyone for all the love, support,

and a wonderful first weaving event.
