What a wonderful Wednesday! I took my Christmas money and drove about 45 min to an hour away to Dover, Indiana and visited the closest weaving supply store. A neat lady has a little shop on her property and it is well stocked with all kinds of thread, yarn and weaving supplies. I had so much fun looking through everything. Barb was so helpful and gave me lots of tips - it was like having a class! She invited me to the Greater Cincinnati Weavers Guild meeting tomorrow night - I'd like to try and go. They have a house and hold all kinds of classes, workshops and study groups there. If you join you can also have access to their library.
I bought white and blue carpet warp for my rugs and blue, white and 2 shades of yellow cotton thread to make kitchen towels. I also bought a boat shuttle and bobbins to use while weaving the kitchen towels, as the thread is fine and will work better on the bobbin than the flat shuttle I am using for the scarf. Tonight I have been cutting old jeans into strips to use in the rag rug. I am so excited! I also went to the garden center today and bought marigold and sweet pea seeds. I need to get the snapdragons started, they took so long to grow last year, I want to see if I can get them to bloom earlier. Well, back to cutting strips and I need to reload the flat shuttle with the river blue symphony yarn, so I can finish the scarf. I'm anxious to get it finished and off the loom, so I can start a rug! Looks like February could be a good month this year. It's snowing again tonight - nice big fluffy snow. Maybe we'll be snowed in tomorrow and I can weave all day (LOL)!
