Lots of weaving

Anne and I have been working on the guild project and the new rug over the last few nights. Plus a little bit of spinning (Clun Forest) to supplement the yarn needed for the guild ikat project.

Progress on the guild project is going well - Anne is racing ahead with the guild towel project and apart from a broken warp thread all is going well.

Guild project - half way through

I managed to get the upright loom dressed ready to make a kilim style rug and have managed to sort out a relatively good/consistent pattern which will have the basic white-ish background and a stripe with blue (changing from dark to light and then back) in the center.

The rug stripe

The plan will be to repeat the stripe (zig-zag) 4 times and then finish off with more grey (which also wraps up the side on this rug).

But in the meantime - it's off on holiday for a week, and begin work on these projects on return.
