So much fiber, so little time: A decision

A decision

I've been hanging on to the Webs certificate my sister gave me for Christmas, because I couldn't think of what I wanted to buy. Finally had a brainstorm - I'm going to use it to replace some of the carbon steel reeds for my small loom.

(I'm big fan of having lots of reeds, because I really hate odd sleying patterns! At one, two, three or four ends per dent, I just fly across the reed, but weird combos like 3-2 or 2-2-1 drive me nuts.)

Great idea. I have two each of 4, 6, 8, and 10 dent reeds, but I could really use a 12 dent. Obviously the woman that owned the loom before me made heavy rugs and wall hangings.

Lace work

A collection of knitted lace shawls, stoles and wimples. Many were done in handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

Socks and small knits

These are all handknitted socks and other small items. Most of these were knitted from my own handspun yarn. Click on an image for a larger picture and description, plus charts for some.

(Most of the Celtic designs came from Celtic Charted Designs by Co Spinhoven, an excellent and inexpensive resource.)

Doll Knits

A collection of (mostly) knitted doll clothing.

Sweaters

Back in the dark ages (as in pre-1987), I used to knit sweaters. Nowadays, I rarely do, so I'll use this album to record some of what I have done and may yet to be.
