Knitting, Weaving and More

Since I haven't been doing much art, now what might I be doing you might wonder.




















This is a hat I just finished knitting.  I wish you could feel it, it is so soft. Its made from Noro Silk Garden which is a silk/wool blend.




















Here it is being modeled but the color is not real true which is why I showed the first picturee.




















A side view show the entrelac pattern and the bobbles. I bought the yarn back in January when I visited my sister.  We both made the same hat.

WEAVING


















This is my loom all warped and ready to begin weaving. I am making dishtowels.




















These are some of the colors I'll be weaving with.




Here is what the pattern look like.  Its a bird eye twill.  I'll be changing the colors every inch or so.

SEWING


I have been making these Soup Cozies, they are like a potholder for your bowl that you cook in the microwave. That way you don't touch the hot bowl, plus you can hold it on your lap and its an insulator.  I am selling these to make some spending money for my trip.





















I have made 15 so far.  I'll sell them at the Snake River Fiber Festival in May.




















Each side is a different fabric. That way you can use both sides if you want.




















Plus its more fun to make them that way. I am selling them for $12. If you are interested leave me a comment or send an email.
