Bamboo Cotton Scarves



I've made two more sets of handwoven scarves in Tammy's bamboo-cotton blend. Here is her New York colorway, the Olive Oil ones are in the post below.

I wound each warp for four scarves, and made three regular and one finished into an infinity scarf. I'm still hard at work to meet Jan's scarf-a-day challenge for the month of February. Visit my new blogsite for more details, and to see what I'm working on now.

Handwoven Infinity Scarves


My daughter suggested that I make some infinity scarves, and I'm so glad she did! I enjoy making them, love the way the look and how easy they are to wear. There are also seemingly endless possibilities for length and width, resulting in endless possibilities for this must-have fashion accessory.

My Latest Handwoven Scarves


Even though I haven't posted lately, I've been weaving up a storm. I've joined Jan's Scarf A Day challenge for the month of February, and I'm right on track.

I've moved from the rayon chenille to some hand painted bamboo-cotton blends for a while, weaving scarves that are better suited to the warmer weather.

I've been using bright pinks that make me smile, and earthy greens.

I've also made some handwoven infinity scarves. Check my new blogsite to get all the details.

Handwoven Placemats


These neutral color placemats came off the loom on Sunday. I spent hours doing tiny little hand hemming stitches on both ends of 8 placemats. I think it was worth the time, as it really finished these elegant placemats in style.
