  1. Wow, that’s crazy! I’ve never actually seen a woodpecker before–I didn’t realize that they made such big indentations.

As part of my Making Do theme for the year, I am working with yarns and fabrics I have on hand as much as possible. I have a fairly decent collection of stuff, so this isn't exactly a hardship.
Apparently, I am not done with the huck lace form. Took my towels off the loom yesterday, wet finished, and started hemming. This morning over coffee, I sketched out my next weave plan, which I'm hoping to wind the warp for tonight.
My favourite weaving moment is pulling the cloth from the beam even though it marks the need to start dressing the loom all over again.
I love seeing the finished cloth build up on the cloth beam. Six of eight tea towels woven!
Dress-hemming by hand for invisible stitches. Always worth the time for the nicest finish.
I've been wearing this alpaca/tencel twill wrap for two weeks and just realized I hadn't posted the finished picture of it. It's my new favourite thing, and everyone who tries it on wants to keep it, so I know it's a winner. I traveled to Victoria today to make some family time, and this was part of my outfit!
Wondering about the dress? It's not quite finished - still needs some details inside and hemming, but I anticipate being done by Sunday.
From underneath the loom. Four of eight towels woven, with pretty consistent warp composition so far (no loose threads or sections, no breakage).
I *had* decided not to make a new dress for my birthday party next weekend, instead wearing one of the many me-made dresses I already own. But somehow I've found my way to cutting out the #sauviesundress pattern and laid it onto some beautiful Japanese fabric from my stash.
The second sock is well underway but not going nearly as fast as the first one. I would like to get this done by my birthday, which is in two weeks, so I need to get my stitches in!
Eight yards of neutral pallette to weave in grey and charcoal. Huck spot patterning is a very meditative weave. This suits my January state of being just fine.
Wound on and ready to weave.
