I had an idea, for a quick, easy, versatile poncho, and daringly decided to test-drive my idea using my Lucky Penny Wrap. The basic idea, is that you take your woven wrap (18″ x 65″ in my case) fold it in half, and attach three,…
I took this off the loom a few weeks ago, but it was uncertain whether I would get nice FO shots of it because, alas, I left the bedroom door open and my kitties got on it and clawed the heck out of it. However,…
Sometimes you just need the weaving equivalent of instant gratification. Warp and weft are both Noro Taiyo Sock. I didn’t try to keep my colours in line or do anything special, just wove it on a 10-dent heddle the same as if it was all…
A few people asked, after my post about the Colour Shifting Scarf, if I could share a tutorial on how I hemstitch my ends. I am by no means a weaving pro, so how I do it may not even be the ‘right’ way, but…
One of the first TFA palindrome skeins I managed to snag off Ravelry destash was a skein of ‘Prism’. It turned out that the colour runs on Prism were too short to line up easily, so after a few frustrating attempts I just warped as…

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…
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…
