After wavering and waffling about it for what seems like forever, I am proud to announce that I am a weaver. Yup, got myself a loom last week during a visit to Webs. The Schacht Flip 20″ with 3 dents, just to cover all the bases.
It sat in the box all weekend since I was a sporty mom down at the Cape but Monday morning, the fun began. Assembly was simple and my consultants Debbi and Pat were helping me dive right in. I took some yarn that Carrie had given me, no time for picture taking of the skein, and set out to make a scarf.
I have to say, within a relatively quick time, I was weaving.
Weave on
Finished last night,
hemstitched this morning and blocked and fringed this afternoon.
All that remains
Just like that…a scarf…voila!

It’s a Scarf
I am diving into the stash for the next one!
The particulars can be found here.
Now for shameless puppy promotion: I couldn’t resist sharing this cute picture. Although Dixie is a great walker for a puppy, the heat does get to her. This morning, she cried “Uncle!
Looking forward to a three day weekend! Hope you enjoy yours!
I may weave. Do you have any plans?

Marcy Marcy! You are AMAZING!!!!! I know it is coming . . . . . I need to weave! Your first scarf is a beauty!!!!! Too much talent in one body!!!! Plus, you are Dixie’s mom!
Just gorgeous…every time I see one of these I want to weave…especially dishtowels….one of these fine days….
Nicely done! I think you picked the perfect yarn for your first project. Beautiful blending of the colors and it looks like it has a gorgeous drape to it too!
As for my weekend….. Mom is still in the hospital
We’re hoping she can move to a rehab facility soon and hopefully one that’s closer to home. So a couple trips to the hospital for me. Also hoping to join in a couple neighborhood parties. There’s a graduation and a big 50th birthday to celebrate
