This is still only 17" wide because my warp calculations were off a bit, but it is lovely exactly how it is!

I had no idea what would happen with a handpainted skein of sock yarn used as warp and weft, but voila....plaid :) Mon, 02 Apr 2012 14:32:55 GMT http://www.patsknittingandquilting.com/2012/april/oneskeinwovenscarf.html http://www.patsknittingandquilting.com/2012/march/handspunerato.html I've been wanting to make one of Romi's Small Shawls for a long time and when this pattern came out, I knew it was "the one" Thu, 22 Mar 2012 15:00:41 GMT http://www.patsknittingandquilting.com/2012/march/handspunerato.html http://www.patsknittingandquilting.com/2012/march/romeoandjulietscarf.html Well, considering I completely messed up and didn't use my loom correctly (had the down heddle positioned in the wrong place so had to have warp very loose to accomodate - oooops ....NO WONDER I was having trouble!), I still love my 1st handwoven scarf :) Wed, 14 Mar 2012 16:05:33 GMT http://www.patsknittingandquilting.com/2012/march/romeoandjulietscarf.html http://www.patsknittingandquilting.com/2012/march/whooops.html So - I got this book at the library last week and was instantly smitten. I ordered my 20" Schacht Flip on Friday - got it on Monday and was weaving Tuesday - wahoooo :) Wed, 07 Mar 2012 18:45:19 GMT http://www.patsknittingandquilting.com/2012/march/whooops.html
