Latest shawl

This is a beautiful shawl I just finished on the tri-loom.  It's got fringe, too!

It's made with Lion's Brand Homespun yarn.  The color is blue, obviously, but it has strands of green running through it.  This is the second shawl I've made with this yarn.

This is me, modeling the shawl.  It is so soft and warm.  I love it!

Long Overshot Wrap

I finished!!!  It took me a while, but that's mostly because I'm busy these days and it sat on the loom with only about three inches done for two weeks.  Once I started weaving and had the treadle pattern memorized, it went pretty quickly. 

It's 8 feet long.  At first I thought that was way to long, but once I started playing with it and wearing it, I realized it was a very nice length.  It's 18.5 inches wide.

I used up all the thread - all 1400 yards of it!  The thread is thick, so it makes a wonderful cold weather wrap.  I'm looking forward to winter now!

Weaving away

The huge spool of thread I bought is going quickly.  I hope it lasts this project, but I'm starting to worry that it won't.  What will I do if I run out?  I can't afford more of that kind right now.  Well, I'll just keep going until I run out and that will be the end of this project. 

Pictures to come soon....
