Brother Competition

I was sent a link to a Brother competition for mothers day. You could make one of the 12 project ideas or use one as inspiration. I made a bag for my Tablet. The competition was for a new brother sewing machine , a scan and cut as well as having your sewing room transformed, I really wanted the last one because I don't have enough storage in my room.    

4" Squares

I finally received a weaving loom I ordered six weeks ago . It's a zoom loom and is very fast and easy to use , even in the car . All these squares are from one ball of multi coloured yarn

Inkle loom

I warped up the inkle loom again yesterday. I am trying another pattern from the inkle pattern directory. This time I am trying to make bookmarks using the same warp for pick up patterns that are heddled and unheddled

Bookmarks

I have finished my first try at pick up from the inkle pattern directory. thy make great bookmarks. I hope people still use books

 I am moving slowly through a very long warp. So far I have woven a 37 inch table runner using a verigataned blue yarn that I hand spun. There was a lot more warp than I thought so I have now woven some spotlight yarn from my stash that could be runner or a scarf is now 38 inches and there is still more warp to go. I can only 4inch of weaving uing this colour. So I will have to find somethig else to use because I don't want to waste the pearl cotton wa. Next time I will measure better and write it down.

Granny Ripple rug

I have tried two different granny ripple blankets for friend who wants to make a baby blanket. I don't like the top one because of the loopy edges but the second one looks better.

Inkle loom weaving

Last night I finished weaving the purple inkle loom band. Its 205 cm long . I don't know what I will do with it but love how it looks.
