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.
Absolutely gorgeous hat!

ReplyDeleteYou've been busy! The hat colors are great, and I like seeing all those blue threads lined up for your weaving.
