Handwoven Bamboo Scarves

Although I've been away from blogging, I've been busily weaving. Here are some of my new creations.

First, here's a set of three handwoven scarves in 100% bamboo. These three scarves share a common warp, set in random stripes of honey, acorn, ecru, and navy. One warp was solid honey advancing twill, one solid acorn woven in a tabby weave (my personal favorite from this batch), and one in solid acorn with an unusual point twill design. Learn more about that design at my new blogsite.

Here's another set of three bamboo handwovens. The warp for these three was a solid ecru, and as you can see, two of them have that same ecru weft, in two different weave patterns. The third has a navy warp to create an interesting weave pattern. See which one I like best at my new blogsite.

Now for a log cabin design, using a black 100% bamboo yarn alternating with a handpainted bamboo-cotton blend. I really love this scarf, and it's gotten me lots of positive comments from those who've seen it in person. Get more of the background at my new blogsite.

I'm going to save my complete favorite for the next post. Check back soon.

Why am I now posting a picture of ice?

In addition to the fact that I think it's beautiful, it's in response to Carmi's weekly challenge.

You Still Have Dial Up?!

I do still have a dial up internet connection. Crazy, in 2010, isn't it? For some years I truly didn't have any option. Then I did, but couldn't afford it. Now I'm back to fairly option-less.

Read the whole story at my new blogsite, and give me some suggestions on how to change my situation that don't involve moving from my beautiful country home.
