Do tell us more than just that it took you 6 months to weave :)  How 
many napkins did you weave?  What was the fiber, weave structure, sett?

I've been thinking about doing a largish sett in fairly dark colors.  I 
have a bunch that are mostly white, and some that are light colors, but 
folks are always reluctant to use them, even the whites when I tell them 
I can bleach 'em :)  I do have one dishtowel that's mostly darkish 
colors, and it *is* nice to use one that I don't have to worry will look 
grungey after a few washings.

But my next project is going to be a double weave warp.  I'm going to 
make 2 tool holders, one for each loom, and try double-weave pick-up for 
the first time.  Also probably a couple of bags, woven tubular, and put 
on a little extra for maybe a pick-up table runner.  One side will be 
shades of yellow through pink, mostly peaches, the other maybe a soft 
green, all 8/2 cotton.  Weft will probably be unbleached.

Or maybe I'll put on the bath towel and hair towel warp I've been 
thinking about for a long time...that would be easy and fast!

So many projects, so little time!
