Whimsical Weaving





 The loom has some fun yarns on it right now because I had finished two projects since I lasted talked about what I was on working..



Did get the black and orange checkered scarf completed, which I made for my middle daughter and had already mailed it off to her. Baseball season has started here in the U.S. and seeing how she is a 
San Francisco Giant fan and at the games in the 
San Francisco is can be cool and breezy. She can use it now



Then I made another scarf. Again yarn from my stash was used. Just 2 skeins used, light gray and variegated black/gray.



So soft and love the look of this one.



So after doing this one I was wanting to start another one.
Had been pondering using  novelty yarn and ribbons.



It has been fun seeing how it turning out.



It is also soft, not at all stiff or scratchy, thank goodness.



Used 8 different yarns in the warp and only 1 yarn for weft.



I'm already thinking about the next one, you see I have so much yarn and need to do something with it. Having a good start.


Product Details
I finished listening to The Hidden Life of Trees and loved every word.  I will reread this book. So much good information and interesting to listen to.

    The two finished scarves are so pretty. I really like the ombre one. Your new project looks so fun. I like those soft wispy yarns.

It worked out great and only cost a fraction of the price. The PVC pipes, joints and 2 yards of felt cost under $22.00 My design wall is 4' x 4' which stands approximately 5 1/5' tall. For this size need 2 - 10ft length of 3/4" PVC pipe for the frame and 4ft of 1" PVC pipe for the feet Cut the 3/4" PVC into 4 - 4' section                                                                                       2 - 1' section              Cut the 1"  PVC into 4 - 1' section        ...
