Shalom Cardigan

I am standing in the yarn store waiting to check out and staring at the handspun yarn on the wall.  Staring at it...feeling its loneliness wanting a home...but I can barely knit smooth milled yarn so I am definitely not up to tackling knubby yarn...looks a little too unruley for me.
Then for some reason I pull some off the wall and buy it.  I take it home and am no longer interested in the orginal project...all I can think about is knitting up that yarn.  I look through my stash and the lime green shines through.

The rest is history...I was in love.

Weaving!

I went to a weaving workshop today at Weavers Corner.

I can hardly wait to go back!
I made two dishcloths:



And a beautiful rug for my kitchen from the ugliest fabric remnants ever!!

Now I am totally in love with weaving ...how to get Bryan to buy me a floor loom?!
