Weekly Recap

It was a really busy week! I spent the first few days getting Nefertiti ready for release and writing up a wider-version for Juno Regina so that the sample knitter could get going on it. Thanks for the great response to Nefertiti! I.LOVE.IT. So much. It is drapey and beautiful and just wonderful to wear.

On Wednesday I went to visit family. My sister L helped me baste my king sized quilt. It’s a disappearing 9-patch, in all shades of blue. The patchwork top is 116″ square. That is 9’8″ x 9’8″. That sucker is HUGE. But I’m excited about it. I might be crazy, but I am going to handquilt the whole thing. So don’t expect to see it for another 6 months at least 🙂

On Thursday my Dad, using his well honed carpentry skills, helped me make a warping board.

I told him I want his tools when he dies. That man has EVERYTHING imaginable tucked into a very small garage. The frame is made from 36″ poplar 2x2s, so it’s very sturdy, and it will do a 16-17 yard warp, I imagine. I’ll have to measure sometime. Hopefully by the end of the week I’ll be weaving some kitchen towels.

I have finished a scarf based on the Konyaku Silk swatch that I did in March. It’s turned out lovely, but I need to take some pictures before I can post about it. The pattern should be super simple and PERFECT for handspun yarn since the repeat is 8 rows and 4 stitches.
