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.

Lots of New Handwoven Scarves

Yikes! Somehow I've managed to get a lot of weaving done that didn't make it up here for you to see. Wintergreen bamboo, handpainted variegated moccasin and blue violet bamboo cotton, and variations on those themes. I've made flat scarves and infinity scarves, twill scarves and plain weave scarves, wide scarves and narrow scarves.

Check them all out on my new blogsite, unless you're ready to make a purchase at my website.

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.
