Projects

I finsihed weaving a chenille shawl for my niece the last week of February. I am waiting for DN to decide if she wants a cream shawl or if she wants me to dye it another color. I ordered some rayon seam binding on Friday to finish the ends. I used some tricot to finish the edge before sewing a narrow hem on a chenille shawl I wove for my Aunt last spring. It really turned out nice for a no-fringe finish.

I am alomst done with the royal blue dress. The lining is done and the dress just needs the bottom hemmed and a final press.

I started a sample with 2 white rayon boucles, 1 smooth white rayon, 2 black rayons and a unknown cellulose black yarn in the warp. The 2 black rayons are small (20/2 I think). I am using the smooth white and a black rayon yarn for the weft. I am finally using the 2 bobbin shuttle I bought at SOAR 2+ years ago.
