The Winter Sea ~ Handwoven Scarf

I was surprised with a trip to Yarnation...and two story yarn store in Memphis...by sweet daughter, Madison and my son-in-law, Cory took me there for Mother's Day...and Robby added to my wonderful gift certificate... I got to really splurge on some beautiful... the yarn I chose to use on my 3ft tri loom is a beautiful Tahki Yarns Angel yarn...it is a core spun yarn and Cory said it reminded him of the ocean... it does look like the ocean or the sea... I did a new first for me...I made twisted fringe... So you can fully appreciate the fringe I will explain...you take two strand... twist each strand to the right the same number of times... I rolled each in my fingers 6 rolls...then you take the two strands together and roll them the same number of times the other way ...then tie a knot...I love the look...but the fringe alone took me about 6 hours. This is my favorite yarn creation so far!!...love it when I get to say that, it means I am learning!!  Thank you so much for looking!  Hugs, Jeannie

I had fun making this.. used three of my 4 heddles this time...those are the bars that hold the stings that lift the threads that make the design.... I was playing around not sure what exactly I would end up with... but am happy with the outcome... I have a few mistakes... but as I always told my kids  "a mistake is only a mistake if you don't learn something" and I am learning so much!!... this scarf has in it some of my very own hand spun, hand dyed yarns... how fun is that... My next venture is a Tri Loom... Robby is going to build me one and I am just too excited!!...This is going to be a door prize at a dinner at Church... hope it is well received!!... thank you so much for looking!  Hugs, Jeannie

I am loving my new weaving loom... I have lots to learn ...like making the starting end the same size as the ending end... and I did something to the last few rows that make the weaving look a little bit different... not sure what... I get in a hurry when I am almost done!!.. I think I will get Robby to add another bar so I can make things just a bit longer... thank you for looking!! Hugs, Jeannie
