Hats of Late…

I keep on making more, and the funny things is I still love it. I go back to some old designs periodically, like the lattice structure or two color jog-less stripe lattice below in the top two hats. I created a few scrap hats which are my favorites at the moment.

I am getting inspiration from all over, I love the wonderful local and  international fiber community and am so grateful for their generosity and flourishing abundance of color, texture and productivity. You all inspire me to no end!!

Saori Calls

As promised, here are some shots of the cowl I just wove. Lots of handspun fuchsia and black merino, plied with other lovelies!

Now on to the new warp. Sticky linen, cotton, cot-lin, and a little rayon.

I tried to weave some thinner threads as weft. It makes for a much lighter fabric and has  a lot of different possibilities.
Below are lots of close-ups of the different sections. Great photos, Stephen! ♥
