Bridgemoof--Sheep & Wool festival

[Bridgemoof]

Thanks Greenbean, I learned from a combination of reading books (not much help) and youtube videos (more help) and then just doing it and figuring out things as I went along. Some mistakes I made actually turned into some very cool design details.

You're welcome! That's awesome, is it hard to do? Where did you get the.... thing.... I don't know what it's called lol, the wood thing that the yarn is on?

 

[Bridgemoof]

lol it's a loom, Greenbean, and Tim found it on Craigslist for me for Christmas! So I started on New Year's day I think, this is my first project, a table runner. Right now I am finished the weaving part and am tying little knots in all the ends.... It's been hard to learn, but once you understand the whole concept, the weaving part goes pretty easy. It's fun!

I'm SERIOUSLY Impressed! I somehow overlooked the fact that you were doing that with YARN! I thought it was fabric (thicker)! Good gravy...you've gotten a LOT accomplished! Are you cross-eyed at all? I'd be! That is SOOO cool Bridge!

 

[Bridgemoof]

Coco you're a cocoNUT! lol Yes it's yarn, and very skinny yarn at that! The off white is wool and the red was cotton.

I'm done!!! I wouldn't dare put it on my table, though. Nothing is sacred around here! The bengal tiger cat will see those fringes and down it will come with everything on it. Or the family unit will spill something all over it.

Today was pretty good. Finished the weaving. Got my work work done. Tim took the whether to the auction. He only brought in $89.00

And I sold 2 batts of wool on etsy!

Good job!!!! Your table runner looks awesome!!!!!!!
I am impressed! Awesome!
What do you have on your list to weave next?

 

[greenbean]

That looks great!

I just went and looked at your etsy shop, do you spin your own wool? I used to back when I had Angora rabbits. I found a trio for sale that I'm very tempted to get!

 

[Bridgemoof]

THANKs FourWinds. Next? Something SMALL lol. Like a little clutch with some hand spun and roving.

That's gorgeous! Ild be happy to display it on my table for you!

Thanks guys! Yes I spin, but not enough. Now Coco, she's a spinning fool! She has angora's too. The yarn for this project was purchased. No more of that in my future! I want just about everything I make to made from my sheeps!
