And, here you have it — a year in yarn! (Finished objects, that is). Click on any image for more project details. Four of these projects were started and finished in 2011. Four were carried over from the previous year. And one (the crochet cable cardi, which I’d bought as a kit in 2007) [...]
Weaving is fun and rhythmic — once you have the loom set up. And, you can’t really set up a loom until you have the parameters of your project pretty well nailed up, including the yarns for warp and weft, as well as the sett and specific threading pattern. While you can vary the weft [...]
I need to sew in the ends, cut off the test strip, wet finish this thing and take better pictures. But I can’t resist sharing a preview! My first weaving project, off the loom. It is very much a first project, with all the expected mistakes and shortcomings. But, it was fun! And, I think [...]

So, what would make you, the day after a 12 hour flight home from Japan, turn this: Into this?: I’d like to say something clever, like “reverse jetlag”, or “desperately delayed burst of house pride”, but that’s hardly the case.
