The Fabulous Fiber Fest Day 2 & 3

Monday, August 20, 2007

Wow! I am tired. I spent most of my time on the second day blending Angelina and Merino fiber. I bought the Merino a long time ago. I thought it was for a scarf for Kate. But now I realize that the fiber is for a hat project. Darn! I did think that there was too little of it for a scarf. Grrrrr! I’ll have to find the fiber intended for the scarf and card it at the guild meeting.

I took Tablet Weaving 102 with Michael Cook on the third day. We learned more advanced techniques. Double Face & Brocade. I got the basics down. But I still need to be able to see how stitches are formed. At this time I have to remember how many times I turn forward or backward. I can get stuck trying to remember which way to go next. Here’s the result from the second class:

I stayed behind after closing of the show to help take down Mariko’s displays and booth. Hard work. I probably lost a few pounds. But that is a good thing. :-)
