Weaving

The smaller photos are part of a sampler scarf I made during a weaving class. The upper left is a weaver at a fiber fair in 2014.

Oh, Kathy! Your scarf is stunning. I can only imagine how long it took, and how labor-intensive it must have been.

[CC Folk]

A lot of work and very nice! Is the sampler scarf big enough to wear?

[Kerry McCarthy]

Wow, so labor intensive, but a beautiful result.

[Babs]

How beautiful. It is so rewarding to wear something you have made yourself.

I used to have a loom similar to this and loved weaving during my high school and college days. But children kind of pushed it to the side and I finally gave it to a young woman who had a weaver ready to teach her but no loom. It went to a good home and we bartered payment for it from her farm animals (eggs and meat). We ate well that summer! Nice collage!

@grammyn Thank you Katy. It's not very long. The class was a weekend class. Friday night, Saturday and half day Sunday. It was fun, but I decided I wouldn't pursue weaving. I had no room and still have none to put a loom.
@gardenfolk Thank you. Each block is a different pattern. It would make a short scarf, but I left the tags that explained the different patterns. I don't even remember what they mean anymore. @mccarth1 Thank you Kerry. It was something I always thought I would enjoy doing. And I did enjoy it, but a loom is huge and not portable like needlework.
@onewing Thank you Babs.
@olivetreeann What a nice story. Looms are big and I had no room for one. I'm sure that young woman enjoy yours immensely.

Beautiful examples. I like the way you included the hands at work.

Thank you everyone. I hope I didn't mislead anybod That's not me at the loom. And to call this scarf, a scarf is probably a little bit of an exaggeration.

[Mary Siegle]

You’re branching out to even more fiber arts! Cool!

[Kathy]

@mcsiegle I don't really weave. I took a weekend course a number of years ago to see if I'd like enough to invest in equipment. It was fun, but not enough to pay lots of money for a loom that I didn't have space for. I do know weavers and spinners though.And I appreciate the work that goes into finished items.
