Well we were supposed to be going to "Devils' Bridge" today for Abi to take some photos etc. but Rob was ill in the night so we are home. Nothing ever seems to go to plan - in more ways than one.
I was asked to make someone a rug, couldn't get the right colours, but we got there in the end. Ifinished it and found it wasn't quite long enough......so I did a row of single double crochet row along both ends (does that make sense). And then I wasn't happy with the back so I ended up backing it. I was quite glad to finish it, and I even quite liked it at the end. I haven't had chance to do any more weaving as yet, with making the looms etc. and everything else that goes with it I'm finding it hard to find time for anything else. BUT I have been knitting, sari silk hats and a lovely black swing jacket. Am now working on a black, grey, white mix one the same - it is so comfortable to wear and easy to knit.
The looms are growing again, we have just made one that was OVER 2 mt long and the lady in question may even want one longer again. She is making scarves outs of fleece tops and then felting them....I can't wait to see the finished item.
We are trying to get ahead and build up a stock again, but it never seems to happen - a 2.5 yr old little boy (who is soooo cute) seems to be able to stop everything :). I want to knot him something next, but he keeps growing so quickly when I start I will have to finish it really quickly. Hi is now in ysgol feithrin and loves.
I've been asked to do a craft day with a group of guides and weaving/knitting is the order of the day. The girls love anything you offer them so I'm looking forward to a very crafty day.
Next week I'm planning on going to Rhos-Y-Gilwen (near Cilgerran) for their Lazy Sunday Market, but this time they have craft demos and have a go tables - could be fun.
Right I'm off and will fill you in shortly on the Sunday craft day.
The photo is of the rug I made for Monica.
