Me, too :) I was in a great mood for weaving through the early summer. In early July I put on a 17.5 yard warp for baby blankets--really pretty, white stripes alternating with a rainbow of colored stripes. Easy weaving, two block twill tied up to straight twill and basketweave. But somehow I got sidetracked and there it sits, with just 3 blankets out of a planned 10 done! I have to get going on it soon, though, I've begun sampling for handspun yardage to make another bog coat for my daughter. Natural black Perendale singles warp, 20 wpi, 20 degree twist angle. Dyed blues singles weft, same stats, mix of several fleeces similar to Romney. Did a small cardboard-loom sample which she likes, sett of 16 epi. After she really assesses that sample, I'll figure how much wool I have to card. I've probably done at least half the warp already, but have only just started the weft. Holly
