Finished this on Thursday night, would've worn it earlier but it wasn't dry. The yarn (Patons wool blend aran) was rather rough when knitted, but softened up a treat. My new favourite cardigan. Literally had just enough to finish the fringe, and luckily I accidentally bought an extra ball of the wine coloured yarn because I needed it.
Finished this on Saturday - the crepe yarn reflected the flash, it's actually a lovely deep red.
And when I wasn't doing that, I was threading up this, most of the weekend (it's going to be a table runner):
I'm going to stop using the, count the wraps and divide by 2 method for working out epi and use the various reference tables I've since found online. I warped it as 8 epi and then realised that was too loose so resleyed it as 10 epi, which is still on the loose side. I really don't like warping back to front, it's such a PITA. Would much rather use the reed as the raddle. Got some weaving books on order so that should help.
Himself is on his way back from the third snowboarding trip this year - house has been very quiet without him but I kept myself busy.
Current mood:
okay
