3 or 4?

I've been working steadily since about...7 this morning. I couldn't go back to sleep when Ben left for work at 6:30 so I decided to lay in bed for a little while and then get up and start my day. I began the day by winding off warp for 3 scarves. I already had the copper boucle warp wound off, although I had to wind off another bundle because I decided to make it 15 inches wide so I wouldn't lose 26 ends by tying on. Whatever. Anyway, I chose to use the 6 ply rayon that I dyed earlier in the summer. I used a combination of commercially dyed rayon with hand dyed rayon to make the hand dyed stuff go farther. This way I can also do a really pretty log cabin color and weave. :) Ben really likes how the log cabin pattern looks and I traded the only one I had available so I figured I should weave some more, right?

Copper yarn shawl still on the loom. (Scarf #1)

Point twill pattern is more visible in the picture!


The back of the fabric looks pretty different.

I loooove the colors!!

The redish/orangeish/yellowish is hand dyed and the plum is commercially dyed. (Scarf # 2)

Better visible here.


Fuchsia is such a beautiful dye. (Scarf #3)

The whole warp.

I put one bundle in that has some blue in it. I looove it. :)

Sock yarn!! (Scarf #4)

Love the colors. I have to go back and buy another skein of this.

I really love how the shawl turned out.


I love the face AND back! The back has more copper visible and I think I like it better.

Mmmmm! Fall.
Hopefully I'll be able to get lots of weaving done this week! My goal is to get at least 2 scarves woven. Hopefully 3. The forth may end up being my demo piece this weekend, I'm not sure yet. :)
