Ding!
48 dgrees!
Must be nice to be covered in fur.
I wove this so long ago. It's a pillow cover, took it back when Mom passed and the house was sold.
Somehow it is reminding me of here.
I start to think about wool when the temperatures drop. I think I will actually have more time this winter. To do more than think about it.
Another special find at the auction.
These were first produced in the 1930s and continued for about four decades, with the 2x2 inch (junior) and 4x4 inch sizes being the most common.
A surprise gift from the mother of my grandchildren...
Your daughter-in-law gave you a very thoughtful gift, beside two lovely grandchildren.
Yes!
I have so many woolly ideas but then I am a wool gatherer. 🙂
I have gathered a lot of wool 8ver the years. I really should learn to knit.
yes! i, too, have a weave-it ‘n a potholder loom (somewhere…) perhaps it could be useful for creating patches on vintage jeans… or a patchwork tea cozy… hmmm…
Sounds good to me.
The weaving you made is beautiful, such delightful calming colours. What a wonderful gift, a mini loom. I think I’d like to find one of those and play with it. I’m looking forward to seeing what you create with yours.
The photos of your new home are magical, a special place.
Weaving is the real core of my connection to cloth. I look forward to getting back to it. This place encourages me.
Loving the bright energy here today all across the post and comments — sure feels good, like a happy throw-open-the-door welcome to Autumn and all of her many joys! I made pot holders, too. Fun childhood crafts and memories of “making.”
A potholder blanket popped i to my mind. Or a potholder rug!
Wow! A round stone house, an adjacent cabin, all those trees and ferns, a pond, nearby antique stores, and now alpacas and sheep right next door. Be still my heart! You picked a perfect spot to live!
Well, I’ve left out a few details… 😂
Ah, wonderful wool! I’ve been making 3D felted vessels lately, and taking a deeper dive into felting than I’ve done before. Going on Friday to see a friend’s home & hopefully bring home some fine Merino. Another friend recently finished a beautiful vest made of squares & rectangles on a Weave It loom! So much fun & possibilities there! Have fun!!!!
I’m interested in expanding my knowledge on felting…
Oh, gosh, this resonates with me for several reasons. Mom passed in January 2024 (102!). In “stuff” she left for me was a metal pot holder loom from my childhood. Not as nice as the Weave It but nice enough to have a little fun. Alpaca – I purchased some beautiful black Alpaca roving at an event in Michigan. It became hair on an art doll. Wool – I recently acquired four bins of wool scraps and yardage that had belonged to a rug hooker. Her wooden handled hooks and some lovely scissors were included. Everything smelled like moth balls. The hooks and scissors are currently in a bag of fresh, strong coffee grounds. The pre-cut loops are out in the rain. Yardage and scraps in bins await a sunny day for airing out their grievances. Enjoy your loom and make something usefully beautiful.
102! Wow!
Oh, yes, where is my pot holder loom!😂
Sounds like you have many treasures to work with.
Indeed. Many. Mom was a treasure, too.
“Airing out their grievances”! I love it!
Great idea with the coffee grounds, too 🤗
There’s nothing a fresh cup of coffee and a good cigar can’t settle. Okay, maybe not the cigar.
80 degrees here this morning …ugh!
Cool weaving gift!
Oh gee, I have had it with heat and humidity…
I have one of those! Snapped it up from our local thrift shop a few years back …. I have no idea where it is now (must be hiding somewhere in the general house chaos😂). I remember playing with it a bit. The tiny size was a welcome & novel constraint, but like Leslie mentioned, I too wasn’t sure what to do with the finished squares.
my first thought, now that these comments have been made, is a nine patch! And maybe a blanket…
48°!! How refreshing!
Still sweltering here …
I really want to try weaving , maybe this winter…
I have never seen a “Weave-it”…that’s nifty!
weaving in winter is nice…
Oh, that pillow cover!!! I love primitive, ancient weaving. I have one of those Chancay burial dolls…my granddaughter (2!) loves to hold it. She’s an old soul..
Have you met the Alpaca owners?
Sweet Weave It!
oh how wonderful, they are beautiful.
I have met them. She is a knitter. They have a beautiful farm.
love to see you work with weave it squares. i don’t like the loopy edges but bet you will make ’em sing.
Me either, I might just do a bit of what-iffing.
If you do some what-iffing jude, I promise to do some ‘what-if I can actually find mine in this studio mess’! 🤣
I’ve lost track of my weaving stuff, but when I get to moving stuff into the cabin next month, I’m sure things will surface.
I have weave-it’s but unsure of what to do with completed squares.
well let’s consider that!
Lovely morning light.
Such a thoughtful gift.
Will you be rug making in wool this winter?
Absolutely will try.
What a special gift. Blessings to you.🥰
I had one long ago but lost it before even using it.
