This one sat on the loom for a long time while I was distracted with the spinning bug – but now that it’s finally off and blocked I’m quite happy with the results. This is all coming from one skein of Fleece Artist Trail Socks (colour way unknown). With only 350 metres to the skein…

From this: To this: And this: And finally this! I was getting 11 WPI on this yarn, so I used my 7.5 dent heddle. Feeling pretty happy with it :) It’s about 60″ long and super warm. The Navajo plying really lends itself to warp threads; the longer colour runs really show off in the…

When I got my loom, one of the first things I did was beg a skein of Tanis’s discontinued colourway ‘Harvest’ off of Rayna’s stash. I didn’t know what I wanted to do with it, but since I got the loom, wildly variegated colours that I would not have found appealing to knit with have…

Yesterday, our friend Ben encouraged us to get our bikes cleaned up for the summer and go for a ride (we’re a little late getting on this particular train). We rode for about 3 hours, had an amazing lunch and took lots of photos. Of course I took the opportunity to get shots of my…

So I bought 2 skeins of this colourful stuff called ‘Fame Trend’ (colour 664) thinking it would be just as gorgeous as Noro, but hopefully not as horrid to work with, thus giving me great colour while circumventing Tito’s Noro moratorium. I got pretty excited about this one. I even pre-wound all my mini-cakes and…

I was at Romney Wools, in the early days of loom ownership, looking for colourful self striping yarns to weave up. Weaving with self striping wool is like making a stockinette project for me in knitting – mindless and relaxing, where the beauty of the yarn can do all the work. The difference here is…

Those of you who read this blog often will know that, lately, I’ve been completely obsessed with my loom (I do have projects on the the needles, and I poured some resin yesterday, but really, it’s been all about the weaving) and, every chance I get, I try to do something new. I picked up…

The goal with this scarf was simple, to design the most ‘Shireen-y’ scarf possible. I definitely succeeded, this one is absolutely my favourite. Just look at those colours together, aren’t they gorgeous? Brown: Debblie Bliss Baby Cashmerino (Sport) Bright Blue (top): Indigodragonfly Merino Silk (4ply sock) Bottom Left: Tanis Fiber Arts Lucky Penny (Lace) Bottom…

I’ve been sitting on photos of this scarf for days, not wanting to give it away! For Mothers Day my lovely mama got 2 scarves from me, and here is the second one. The best bit about this scarf is that the warp was my own hand-dyed creation. I based the colours off a photo I…

First of all, I’m in love with my boat shuttle. it doesn’t snag on my warp threads, it can be shot through in one smooth movement, and best of all, it can be loaded up using a power drill in less time than it takes to make a smoothie. I took extra care with this…
