Meet Kip

Diana went home. As much as we had our ups and downs (Diana and I), I do have to say that Leclerc and their customer service is absolutely phenomenal!!! I knew it was going to be a road trip to bring her back and was sure that I really should get something to go in her place. I thought for some time and ended up going with something that would work better for doing demonstrations and to bring along to 'weaving functions'. I decided on a Leclerc Compact so, I called my darling sister-in-law and we hopped in her car with my nephew and off we were!

Jaime was wonderful during picture taking time. She is always one to be counted on for new 'Vogue-like' poses. Here she is with the famous 'not now I have no make up on paparazzi' pose.


Here is my favorite little nephew showing Auntie what he is going to be doing the whole trip. Watching the best movie in the whole world (to him) Cars!!! Check out those eyes!!!!!

Who sleeps like this?! :)

So, the next thing to do is name the loom. Jaime says, "So what are you going to name this one?" Now, if anyone knows the story behind Ishmael and Isaac and knows the story behind the whole Diana (Ishmael) and Megado (Isaac), you know that these looms apparently live up to their names. I said after a long pause, "I don't know." Jaime then said about the funniest thing I have ever heard in my entire life........"How about Kip!"

Waffle Weave Towels

There really is no greater therapy than creating.  There is something to be said when one can take time to create something and sit back and look at the results and be pleased.  I've been working through my stash of yarn and am nearing the end of it.  I'm getting to the colors that I'm not very fond of which is, in turn, making me look at the finished products and thinking 'meh'.  This last run of tencel scarves had me feeling that way.  I much prefer using rich colors as opposed to muted tones because the results are always pleasing to the eye.  Though these scarves have great luster due to the fiber content, they just lack the 'wow' I like to say when I'm finished.

     Switching gears and heading over to my Glimakra, I've decided to go with a run of waffle weave towels.  Since I don't have any unmercerized cotton left, I'm working with 5/2 mercerized cotton in teal and natural.

     As I was counting out the warp and listening to G…

Handwoven Store Up and Running!!!

Well, mission accomplished!  The Hand Woven store is up and running with some items that I've worked on recently.  The intent being to have a bit of variety and a splash or two of color.  There are some shibori scarves, chenille scarves, tencel scarves...scarves, scarves, scarves.  Just in time for this year's holiday season!














Yes.  Of course, there are towels as well but, I'll be adding them at a later time.  The Etsy store can be located right from this page by scrolling to the top and selecting the Hand Woven Store tab.  Well, back to the loom! :)

The End Of A Run

The contrast of periwinkle blue and a nice soft yellow for the final scarf in this run brings a fabulous finish to this series.  I am still working through a book on design work and haven't been completely thrilled with the curves that I've been designing.  Perhaps it's time to go back to the drawing board and select different colors for the weft.  



Since it has been a few years since I've woven towels, I think that I'm going to whip up a run of those next.  I've vowed not to purchase any more yarn until my stash is down at least 50% and I have plenty of cotton to work with.  Waffle weave is one of my favorite towel structures.  The way it's woven flat and bounces with 'almost' uncontrollable texture after wet finishing.....oh.....and not to add that they are super soft and absorbent.  Yeah...I think it's time for a run of waffle weave towels :)  See ya!
