20.04.2021 Only one of my looms (the small Good Wood) is empty at this time. Recently, I re-warped the tapestry loom and made new string heddles for it...only because I could not locate the other heddles. I lost one warp thread in the process. My current read is Rebecca Mezoff's book, The Art of Tapestry Weaving: A Complete Guide to Mastering the Techniques for Making Images with Yarn. It is a good book with plenty of photos and well-written instruction for self-guided learning.

A couple Saturdays ago Louie and I into the shop and I plied a full bobbin of Jacob yarn from roving purchased years ago at Shepherd's Harvest Festival. It will be helpful to have more Jacob if needed for a knitting project in the planning stage.
My office (using the term loosely) is a bit cramped, so it was time to reclaim yarn, needles and markers from a couple of UFOs. The blue Gansey is frogged along with the Eid Top. I would get more wear out of a blue cardigan and keep the Eid Top's yarn and repurpose into another colorwork vest.

| Looking pretty good. |

I love the yarn colors, yarn type and the pattern, but
sometimes one just cannot get into the groove with a project. |

It was the end of the road for this Gansey.

I finished a shop sample for beWoolen using the beautiful Tahki Donegal Tweed yarn. The pattern is Strange Brew from Tin Can Knits using Aran weight yarn, top-down construction with short rows at the back, and extra colorwork at the cuffs and bottom. This was such a fun knitting project and the class is going well with all the lovely sweaters in progress. Next will be a cardigan version...steek!

| Happy knitting! |
