Weaving Project Update

   Good afternoon Friends

     I spent most of the morning today finishing up the tie up for my loom. She is now ready to weave. I need to look at why the harness's are not going back down all the way-the tie up down to the pedals. 

     On the last tie though I couldn't believe I had two very very short ends (yarn)-the last one. I knew this side was not going to be even do to a bit of shifting in the move, and when I glanced over all the threads before tying did not catch these. sigh-nothing I could have done at this point though unless I wanted to unwind and retie the ends on the back-nope that could cause more issues since this is a finer warp than I usually use. So I tied on yarn to those two ends so I could get it tied on.

     I use these soft denim strips to even out the warp a bit before weaving, it would waste the nicer yarn if I used it in this area.

   On this end of the loom for tying, I needed to cut the yarns to make single yarns


Getting Started-I work inwards from the two sides


These yarns will be the weft. The green and blue baby alpaca that my friend bought in Peru, the organic cotton and the fine blue mohair.

  These are ready to weave-to the left-organic cotton-same as warp with fine blue mohair, blue baby alpaca with the fine blue mohair, and the green baby alpaca with the fine blue mohair


   The green and blue baby alpaca that my friend bought in Peru when she visited, the organic cotton and the fine blue mohair. She bought this yarn in a small village after visiting the alpacas and their operation.

  While working on this I had our corn beef dinner and cabbage boiling on the stove with a couple small red potatoes.  Tomorrow morning is my dentist appointment for my broken tooth. It is at least an hour drive or longer to the dentist depending on how heavy the traffic is, so decided would be easier to cook today and we can eat left lovers tomorrow.   I also have cornbread and bean soup left overs I made yesterday.

   Baked in my square cast iron pan. Delicious.


  Happy New Week Everyone

Cast Iron Cornbread & Beans and Ham Anyone?? & Update Full Moon Photo

  Everything turned out so delicious-especially the cornbread-just perfect



the cornbread recipe is at the end of this post

Update after 6 pm  The moon is gorgeous tonight casting it's light over the lake-and right in front of the door leading to the deck. Wow so cool.
  If it wasn't so cold outdoors and me fighting a sore throat I would bundle up and take a photo outdoors--but this one turned out pretty good considering my camera and that it was taken through those glass windows
