Playng Catch Up

 Having spent two glorious weeks away from home wandering around foreign countries and...having two big craft fairs coming up at the end of the month I have been spending a lot of time chained to my loom since we got home.  I've finished weaving a batch of red and blue potholders which have yet to have their hems sewn up,
and am currently weaving two warps of organic colorgrown cotton tea towels in a huck lace pattern.  I hope to get 20 towels finished and ready for the fairs by Thanksgiving.  Might even make it as I wove 5 of them today.  15 more to go but if I can keep up that pace I'll make it with a couple of days to sit around and do nothing before Thanksgiving.

I'll shortly be back to blogging about the trip.

    What a lovely occupation for a blustery day. I am amazed that you can weave so many dishtowels in one days.

    Hello; nice blog! What is the pattern of the potholders? I've been sitting here trying to figure it out. Fran

    Enjoying your posts on your travel, Margaret; thanks for all the photos!
    Can you help me figure out how you made your potholders? I know it's simple, but effective. Were the blue weft rags? Cheers Fran
