I'd say that turned out alright. Had to pivot because I did not like the Huck Lace. So 3 yards of plain weave in a glorious 6 color rainbow plaid is on my table 💜💙💚💛🧡❤️

i love crows 🥀
(sorry for the reupload lol). a bumper sticker design of a crow that says "i love crows." the crow is holding a black flower with thorny branches. there's a wavy black border around the image as well as soft glowy stars throughout the background.

Getting ready to learn something new: Huck Lace. This should become a table runner for my dining room. It might be too pretty and become a shawl ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 #warpedweaver #alwayslearning

New skill: using a double bobbin shuttle. Spoopy dish towels are in progress - this warp is ghosts. Next up? Skulls. #warpedweaver
An in progress shot of weaving a summer/winter pattern on a floor loom. Blocks of 5 white ghosts on a background of dark purple, with stripes between of orange, white, light purple, white, orange.

Just finished weaving this herringbone yardage. I used madder to dye the yarn, full strength for the warp and used the exhaust bath for the weft. Mordanted with alum first, then lots of down time as things soaked. Turned out pretty well I think! #NaturalDye #MySCA

I was sure my eyes were deceiving me when I first saw this brilliant critter. Such a vivid blue. Hope the pair of buntings will return!!

I don't enjoy natural dyes. They are super fickle and unpredictable. But I have a reason to work with madder. Experiments this weekend. Hoping for the orangy side of things. May try for crimson later.

I know better. When I start a project that requires massive yardage, I must use measuring tape. Not to recheck my measurements, but to give myself a goal for each session. About 54" left on this project and it needs to be off the loom and drying by tomorrow afternoon 😬😬😬

These cat towels turned out so well!!! Fussy, but I would make them again 😁 with proper motivation or funding 😉

It's been a hot minute since I've done anything SCA related for weaving. So here is the next step: winding the warp for my cochineal experiment from last year 💜

My homework is almost done. I'm taking my second weaving class starting Monday - my first weaving class was a double weave blanket; a technique I've used at least 3 times since the class years ago. Next class is a double weave Twill blanket! Gonna finally learn how to use my wedding present!

Picked up a couple tiny rigid heddle looms Sunday morning. Gonna try weaving some coasters! New to me style of loom, and cotton has no forgiveness. But I can always use more coasters!! . . . #WarpedWeaver #AlwaysLearning

Next up on the sheep tasting spinning queue: Hebridean Black! Can't wait to get going on this one.
Image is split- Left half features a Hebridean Black sheep in 3/4 profile, the sheep 4 horns, 2 pointing up in a v shape, 2 that curve forward in front of its ears to be low its chin. Sheep is standing in a field of green grass with a cloudy sky above. Right half is a close up of Deep brown-black wool top, wound into a ball being held with the thumb and base of hand visible against an oatmeal colored background.

Oh dear, I've been neglecting my spinning. So much of my research has indicated that the pieces I'm looking at for inspiration are all single ply yarn... That means I need to adjust my process completely. So it's time to clear my bobbins and plot the next project!! #MySCA #MakersGonnaMake

Abdominal surgery is restricting my movements a lot, so weaving is off the table for about 3 weeks. Good thing I have other hobbies I have been neglecting that require minimal movements! #StringThings

First warp of 2025 Pride Favors off the loom!! Currently soaking to relax the warp, then outside to dry before cutting and assembling. Pleased that the 10.5 yard warp is yielding a 10 yard finished cloth - means I've done a solid job modifying my loom to minimize waste. #MySCA #PrideAndProgress

I've woven about 2 yards tonight. So close to dropping the last spacer paper. The amount on the front beam is getting ridiculous 😁 soon this warp will be cut free, then washed and cut for favor assembly 🌈🌈🌈 #PrideAndProgress #MySCA

For years -- YEARS -- I wake up on the first of May (yes, I grab a scone and a large house blend, OBVIOUSLY) and think FUCKINGMONKEYSHITDAMMIT I SHOULD HAVE POSTED THAT MEME YESTERDAY.! Well, yesterday is today this year, and tomorrow...
Justin Timberlake sings some song from guess N*Sync? I always get them confused with the Backstreet Boys, but never New Kids on the Block or Menudo. Respect your elders. So this picture is him in a music video I think and he's singing a lyric that he rather angrily insists is "it's gonna be me" but if you listen to it he very clearly pronounces it "may". I mean, he is obviously saying "me" because "may" doesn't make sense in the context of the song, and he's doing that vocal thing where he makes it sound like "May" which you are hearing in your head right now if you are of a certain age. So why get so mad about it, Justin? So many people love this silly meme and you could be like "yeah, dog, I totally said it like that and I love that you can have fun with it once a year. word. dope."

I think the rest of the band is out of focus behind him and also the wall is red. To be honest, J-dog here really pops against the backdrop, and the lighting is super flattering. So, yeah, dude, it's gonna be you, but it's also gonna be May. Tomorrow, like this meme says.

Working miles(probably only yards) of pencil roving into every other pick of this piled weaving. It's going to be extra snuggly and warm and I'm sure once I get it free from the loom, spring will start on earnest... 30" of 84" complete so far. #Vararfeldur #MySCA #WarpedWeaver

Last project with the dye vat containing no iron. I didn't add any new dye, but the yarn was mordanted with fresh alum. It is VERY pink, not at all purple. But it will serve as a beautiful weft when I finally get this Vararfeldur off my loom!! #MySCA #WarpedWeaver

Science Works! It's a very subtle shade change, but I can tell which is which when they are next to each other. I also can still feel the alum in the yarn and will definitely be adding some conditioning element before wearing this yarn. #NaturalDye #MySCA
