Dressing the loom
Cutting the velvet
We have worms!

"Every night, just when the dark was softest and sleep was deepest, there came a loud noise from the end of the great room. It came from the place where the loom and spindle stood, where by day the grandmother spun and the mother wove."

Weaving Challenge/Exhibition
The Ashford Knitters Loomies (a ravelry group) are running a weaving challenge. I'll be making a tote bag. PINK...very PINK! So far I have assembled the ingredients, now to find the time...
As if I need another project to be working on....but...
Couldn't resist. I think this'll be a heap of fun!

At this stage I'm planning on including strips of the pink velvet in the weave....something I've not done before, and I thought I'd line the bag with the same pink panne velvet. It'll all be VERY pink if nothing else!
Am thinking of using a large shell button for a closure.
I'm really looking forward to this project.
Time to dress the loom....did I mention that it'll be PINK????? giggle
