been quite an adventure here at the weavery lately...had a new washer/dryer stacked unit installed and a new water heater, all in the same day in the very small bathroom. afterwards, floors needed cleaning and the closet needed putting back together along with a small mountain of laundry (been without a washer since two days before christmas). glad that's done!
now, onto weaving a baby blanket for my new niece. it'll be made out of 8/2 cotton, natural colored, for the warp and 8/4 and 4/4 cotton for the weft, light green/light blue/natural colors. yes, i said niece, not nephew! might throw some purple in there, too, just see how it goes. the finished blanket will be 36" x 36" so it will be done on the new big loom. the warp calculations declare i need 916 warp ends, each 5 yards long. oh my.

welcome to the weavery
welcome to the weavery, the place where i design, create and weave. one of my goals for the Summer (and i hope to have it stick past that) is to blog with regularity about what i'm weaving. having a home-based business isn't all laughs and giggles; there are many of the same struggles as are present in work outside of home. my main one seems to be motivation and i'm hoping that this blog will help in creating more momentum.
