Weaving on Wednesday

Thought I would share a couple of scarves I finished recently.

 

The first one is an orange scarf I made from three different shades in a plaid plain weave pattern.

 

 

The next scarf is woven from a painted sock yarn using waffle weave technique.  Love the feel of the scarf - so soft and thick feeling but still an open weave with pooling of the yarn colors.

 

 

 

Happy Wednesday!

I feel really accomplished this week, I finished my Campside shawl on Tuesday with the exception of blocking.  I used all but 14 inches for my yarn, a total of 720 yarn was used for this shawl.  I know I have never used that much yardage in 2 weeks - my new record in knitting.  The picture is after I finished the ribbed border.  I highly recommend this pattern if you are looking for a big cozy shawl to wrap up in.

 

 

Since I'm in-between Camp Loopy Projects I revisited my Socks on a Plane.  Only a couple more inches of the leg and I can call these done.

 

 

My yarn came on Wednesday for my Camp Loopy Project #3.  I will be knitting Elfe using Smooshy from Dream in Colors.  The colors are Butter Peeps and Malibu Sail.

 

 

Take a minute and stop over at Patchwork Times and see what others have on their Needles.

Weaving on Wednesday - July 15, 2015

Been a little bit since I have done any weaving but back at the loom today.

 

More than a month ago I started a plaid plain weave scarf done in 3 shades of orange.  Normally I have a sticky note pad with any notes of how I started and a count on how many inches I have woven.  Can't find the pad, so I'm guessing. I'll just weave in color sequence until the end but then I will have to unroll to see how I did the hem stitch and how many rows I wove in the beginning.

 

 

Should be finishing up today then on to twisting the fringe.

 

 

Happy Wednesday!

I'm making great progress on my Camp Loopy Project #2 - Campside Shawl.  I really have fallen in love with this yarn (Mrs Crosby Carpet Bag), it is so soft I can hardly wait to wrap up in this shawl.

I finished the 3rd set of charts today with one more set to go before the ribbing.  I am finding the pattern easy to follow but I was a little apprehensive before I started knitting it because of the comments is Raverly but happy I am making it.

Once again it's been awhile since I posted anything on my blog but here I am again.

 

On the needles now is my Camp Loopy Project #2 - Campside Shawl.  I am using Mrs. Croby's Carpet Bag yarn, love the feel of this yarn and gives great stitch definition to the garment.  This morning I finished the first set of eyelet charts and moved on to the next set.

 

 

Last Sunday I finished Project #1 - Dream Stripes.  I liked the pattern except that I am not happy with how each row starts with a slip stitch, it seems to pull too much with the color change every other row but blocking helped.  For this shawl I used Lorna Lace's Shepherd Sock (Andersonville) and white Loopy Solid Series yarn.

 

 

Take a minute and stop over at Patchwork Times and see what others have on their Needle.
