Hi all.
Just a little bragging: I made my first handwoven jacket! I wove a long
strip of tabby on my rigid heddle-loom, with a multicolored warp (reds,
yellows, oranges, bit of chartreuse and fuschia) and a striped weft that
progresses from chartreuse to dark purply red and back. It's a simple boxy
jacket, with dropped sleeves (rectangles). The body is made of two strips
sewn together at the back, and I cut out a teardrop for the neck. I sewed
all the cut edges with some nifty stitch on my new sewing machine and
knitted on i-cord along the front edges and neck and along the cuffs. I am
very proud of myself, but of course even though the low was in the 20s the
day I finished it, it's going to be in the 80s for the next several days,
so who knows when I'll get to wear it.
In other news, the blue koolaid I couldn't remember the name of is blue
moon berry. Possible the best blue koolaid ever.
