Two more tris to go. I should have that done by tommrow and be starting on the border. Was thinking green tiny squares, which would make the border about 3″ wide. Now I wonder if I shouldn’t do something white in between… any suggestions? I can crochet, too.

Got this photo from the 4-H group who raise llama and used handspun llama and the 12″ square looms to make this afghan to raise money for a charity project of theirs! I think the kids did a Wonderful job with this and have something they can be proud of. The afghan will be visiting fairs and fiber shows this summer while they sell tickets with this blanket as the grand prize. Good work, kids! 🙂

Karen made this little purse for a young relative who is having her 8th birthday. How could any little girl fail to love it!

It’s growing! The star is as big as it’s getting. Now I have to fill in the spaces! lol Watch this space for further developments… 😀

Robert, grandson of an old friend, was one year old today and Grandmother will be 100 years old on the 26th so we thought they should have their picture taken together in their party hats! We had lots of cake and icecream and plenty of presents. Robert fed his cake to the dog with his spoon. Luckily his Gramma didn’t catch that!

Karen went home an got some LB Homespun and some chenille and went to weaving! She has one afghan finished and another almost finished and is working on a purse. She wove the purse squares with two strands on LB Homespun on every other nail. It came out bulky and plush. I think she’s doing a great job. I love the mixture of square sizes and the way the colors are arranged, too.

My husband couldn’t resist when offered this treasure and the neighbors daughter thought it was wonderful and wanted to put right where her Dad could see it so here it is… in my front yard. It can stay as long as Dad is here but when the family reunion breaks up it’s going back behind the garage or for sale on ebay! There is no phone in it and I don’t have a “game room” to decorate anyway! 😀

Got Randy to make a rectangle loom yesterday. I had him do the 14 x 18 size. It’s too big for placemats but about right for a hand towel, I think. He thinks the 12 x 24 might work for placemats but I think that’s still going to be too big. I’m afraid placemats are going to have to be made with more than one in order to get them to the correct size. The one I made with the big square and 3 Tiny squares was about right.
But I think this loom might work well for small rugs or bath mats. I think I might try rag on it, I’ve been wanting to do that. May have to skip nails, tho.
Anyway, I think the variegated kitchen cotton is turning out pretty, whether it works as a towel or not.

This is what I have in mind for the diamond loom! 🙂

One of our best customers and a really fine weaver wanted a diamond shaped loom. Randy made a proto-type last night and I wove these on it today to be sure it ws going to do the job for her. So now I have a big yarn doily! She has ambitious plans for hers, but I think mine is probably as big as it’s going to get… for awhile, anyway. I have plans for a diamond, too, but a smaller one. It was still too hot for mowing lawns so this was a good excuse to sit in front of the fan again today! 😀
