All over the place

 My time is being pulled in every direction right now and I feel like there is insufficient time left for crafting. Even though I do not get too involved in holiday activities, there is still a bunch that goes on and eats up time.

So here is the Lithuanian Sash Rug, underway on my Harrisville Rug Loom. I am weaving it with wool weft. I am about two thirds of the way through the first repeat of the charted design. The reverse side of this boundweave rug has the inverted colours.

 This is the chart I graphed out with paper and pencil. I worked on this at camp last summer. The traditional sash design is the dense portion bordered by some faint vertical lines. I added a little bit of geometrics along the sides. It should wind up looking like open Vs along the sides. I hope it looks nice when done. I suspect I will do two repeats of this chart. And the rug will likely be around six feet long.
E.H. is my 94 year old buddy who just moved into an assisted living centre. There he is in the blue ball cap, getting a lesson from me on how a tapestry loom works. I purchased this Leclerc Penelope this week and have put in in his room. The hope is that visitors will feel free to add to the tapestry and we can one day make a wall hanging or a bolster pillow.

 Some of my handspun wool made it into a Cabin Hat. This cap has a significantly wide turned up cuff, making it extremely warm. I gave it to a certain fellow from the desert.

 On the small Harrisville Belt Loom I made a little checkered band as a demonstration for a meeting. This is knitting wool and it was a fun and easy weave.







I turned this strip into a tool holder on the castle of my rug loom. It is cute because I have teal coloured paint on the legs of the bench for that loom.

Here is a towel project underway on my jack loom This is an eight shaft design. I am using up leftover crochet cotton, hence the willy-nilly warp strips. 

Jeepers. I need to get a better picture of this. I am knitting the Rockport Tee, but using my handspun wool for it. I am closing in on finishing the back of the top. And front is all knit too, I just have to cut and sew a steek that I put in at the V neck.

There are more things happening too. Spinning and other knitting too. But you'll have to wait for another post to see more. Cheers, and Happy New Year, Y'All.
