Weave, Unweave

A few days ago I started a woven scarf on the 10" Cricket loom with handspun yarn - green for the warp and purple for the weft.

 

As I was admiring the 7/1 Lace pattern I noticed a mistake four pattern rows back. Oops.

 

 

I guess instead of weaving this evening, I will spend my time unweaving and fix my mistake.

Pegless

I am still making stuff on the Cricket 10" loom.

Last week my warping peg ended up on the floor.

 

 

Yeah, unfortunately while I was in the process of warping the loom.

 

 

Good thing it was another skinny charity scarf with only 40 warp ends.

 

 

Today I put another skinny warp on but instead of using the warping peg I used the raddle The Man built for the Lil' Gem.

 

Lil' Gem

 

 

A little overkill but it worked perfectly.

Bottom's Up

I knew it would be a dreary rainy weekend so on Friday I baked a cake: Cocoa Yogurt Cake.

 

 

   

 

Goggle searched: Why did my cake crack? (Oven too hot? Overmixed?)

 

 

Oh, well. I flipped it upside down.

 

 

 

Yesterday I made more yogurt so I can practice making this cake again.

Finished Threads

Finishing the Charity scarf this afternoon. Both ends were hemstitched while the scarf was still on the loom. The fringe has been knotted and now it just needs to be trimmed.

Combed the threads till straight and flat.

 

Trimmed with a rotary cutter.

 

 

The scarf is ready for Handmade's donation box but first Show-and-Tell at Little Looms Group next week. It has been awhile since I've shared an item woven on a Rigid Heddle Loom.

 

 

Fancy Threads

Yesterday I decided to make a charity scarf for Handmade with donated yarns,

 

 

woven on the Schacht 10" Cricket Rigid Heddle loom. I warped the loom to the same size as the knitted scarves we donate, 4 to 4.5 inches by 60 inches.

 

 

The skinny scarf did not take any time at all to weave. I even gave it a bath.
