December del 2008 - <title>Boogie Knits

The first project off the fancy loomie is done.

It still needs a wash and a twisting of the fringe but it’s off the loom.
Alpaca twill about 9 inches wide and about 6 feet long.

The second project is on

And it obvious that I need to bring my Ott-Lite down to light loomie.
This is a bad photo of a Woolease scarf for husbeast. He wanted it mostly black and thick with stripes at the ends. So it’s a weft faced scarf in twill. I had already advanced the warp before I took photos. Silly me had hoped that I would get more done on it yesterday.

Can you tell?
I’m making Christmas scarves.
Who says I’m late?
Hopefully husbeast’s scarf will be done tomorrow and then I can move onto the others. I have about 5 more I want to do before I’ll allow myself to move onto weaving cloth for the jacket I’ve been designing in my head. I used to make fun of Husbeast and his family because they all have a lateness problem. ok, maybe I still do I always say that if you want him to be a certain place at 2 then you need to tell him to be there at 1. It seems that while he’s gotten better over the years, I’ve gotten a tad worse. At least in the gifty department.

Back to the Alpaca scarf. I want to work up one more scarf a little less wide. 9 inches is a huge scarf and it used more yarn that I expected (I took a guess and didn’t actually do the weft math). Eventually I’ll make the kit available in the shop.
