Barbed Wire Rug

First I need to show off a little bit of organizing that I did. A friend of mine, BD, spotted this gridwall stand in a resale shop and commented on how it would be handy for storing coned yarns. I agreed and asked the shop owner for the price. He had to look into it, but in a few days got back to me. It came with 19 hooks, and I was able to buy the correct ones from Uline.  After this photo was taken I completed loading up the whole thing. Both sides are full. Previous to using this rack, the majority of the cones were in underbed storage totes. And because I did not buy this yarn, but got it with looms that I bought, I had no real recollection of what I had.  Now that I can see the cones I am dreaming up new ideas for them all the time. I love it! So thank you BD.   These two photos show a weft floats scarf that I made up as a sample for a rigid heddle weaving class. The pattern is a free one from Purl Soho. I used a skein of sock yarn that I got from my friend
