And a little on the process. first with the spacers in while weaving:
Then with the spacers all out but still on the loom:
Off the loom:
Almost ready to roll up for felting - bubble wrap on bottom, then scarf, then covered with netting & sprayed with soapy water:
Close up of felted scarf! I rolled the scarf around a rolling pin and rolled back and forth long enough to get it sticking together, finished in a bowl with my felting plunger (not to be confused with the bathroom plunger!!!). I decided to stop felting while I could still see the weaving structure.
Should have a finished baby hat by next weekend and at a minimum the second bobbin of Mordor which will be plied with a a dark grey Wenslydale.
Oh my gosh Linda, you always blow me away with your projects. I feel like such a lump compared to you. I think I had exactly 1 year (2009) in which I was truely productive with my crafting. You are such an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteKeep getting well. I will accept NO excuses for not coming to Sheep and Wool - even if you have to wear a mask. No excuses!!!!!
Love you. Elaine
PS - OK, maybe if you had a death in the family or something .... but we aren't going down that road!!!
