Knitting
Weaving
This week I signed up to Kelly Casanova Weaving Lessons online, just before the prices increased. So that is where most of my time has gone. I have already watched quite a few of the tutorials and when I watched her ‘From Woe to Go’ beginners weaving course I realised the way I’d warped my loom with cotton a few weeks ago could be a lot better. So I have been carefully unwinding all the warp! I’m so glad it had been threaded double and so no ends had been cut. So although a bit time consuming it is unravelling and I’m nearly done!
Before anyone get’s excited about this quilt, it was bought not made by me. 😀
So, I’m excited to get started on some new projects with my newly learned skills. Still lots more classes to do so that will likely be my next few weeks. Some courses I can knit whilst watching, but some need more attention.
I mentioned last week I’d ordered some second reeds for my loom in 3 sizes (10dpi, 12.5dpi and 15dpi), well the company, Fibrehut, issued a refund for the size 10dpi as they were out of stock, so I ordered that from the Handweavers Studio (with some more cotton thread!) and that arrived super quick yay! However, I’m still waiting on the reeds I ordered from the original company!
If the reeds had all arrived I may not have signed up for the course, so hopefully my next weaving will be better. If they don’t arrive Monday then I’m going to warp up for a smaller project using thicker yarn.
Did I own up last week to ordering a cone of Lilys Sugar’n Cream yarn to weave some teatowels? That also hasn’t arrived yet, but Covid is causing all sorts of delays and so I just need to be patient and not want to do all the new ideas straight away!

I had to chuckle when you wrote “I hope the summer is warm enough to wear it”. Here I am wishing the summer was cooler so I could wear my shawls in the evening. The Tail Feather shawl is gorgeous. I do love the color you have chosen for it. But then Purple is one of my all time favorite colors. Your weaving class sounds like it might have already paid for itself if you have found the best way to warp the loom.
I was thinking “Wow, she is so talented to have quilted that bedspread” But then you go and burst my bubble. LOL It is pretty none the less.

Oh my that undoing of the warp looks so complicated. It spiked my anxiety and I am not even doing it! Good on you for having the patience.

Before you called my attention to the quilt, I was looking worriedly about all that yarn you were unraveling. That looks like a challenge to keep straight. I just read Mary-Anne’s comment above – that is kind of my thinking, too! I look forward to see what you share with us that you’re going to learn from the online course. Fun! And now that I’m looking at the quilt, it’s pretty! 🙂

Tailfeather is gorgeous, but I see you have much to keep yourself occupied right now!
