July 7th Weekly Update

I have managed to get totally hooked into making scarves that I have only just realised that I haven't done my weekly up date, now 3 days late. Well I can't control my crafting flare and I have been busy! But here is the week's update, even though it's late. :)

  • Monday I managed to finish my Mum's knitted wrap that was her Mothers Day present back in May. Just a little bit late but I have it on good authority that it was worth waiting for.
  • Tuesday I finished the crochet scrap rug that i started many years ago. I finally decided that it was big enough (not to mention it took forever to do one row!), and I can now start another one.
  • Wednesday I decided I couldn't stay away from the Entrelac technique so I have started a scarf. 
  • Thursday I decided to start the knitted shawl as the project for the month. Inspired by Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitter's Almanac.
  • Friday I warped up my loom again and wove a scarf...
  • Saturday I wove another scarf...
  • And Sunday another one! :) Like I said, I got hooked on weaving scarves! :)
I have also made some progress with my Tapestry Dairy, so keep checking the weaving page for updates. While I did miss 2 days this last week, I'm still trying to do some most days, and that is something.

Until next week, happy crafting! :)
