One more week...
In one week, I start back to school and need to find balance between my weaving and the real work that pays the bills!
I have been so productive this summer. I finished a huge basket of weaving projects before we went to New Brunswick in July. Since getting back, I've dressed the loom three times and woven all three warps off. I still have one to go and I'm optimistic I'll have that on and off before Friday.
There is some finishing I need to get done before school calls me back, but then I will have all summer projects completed and will work on finding that project I can do while working. I have an idea, but I'll know once I start in September what is really possible. Luckily, this year, there are no evening obligations for kid stuff around here, at least none that I'm responsible for!
I wanted to show you a new idea I came up with this summer - a woven cowl. I know, I didn't invent it but boy am I glad I figured out how to make it work! More of a serendipity moment during finishing, I'll take it!
So far, I have three completed, and another three to weave (that's my final project mentioned earlier). Here are my first three cowls.
