</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The pattern is a simple raglan I took from Erica Knight's <i>Baby Bloom</i> book, her version is plain with embroidered flowers, but I couldn't resist the colours in this self-patterning merino wool. I've also taken up my patchwork again. You can see a small cot quilt that H is lying on at the top, which is my first machined quilt - boy was that stressful doing the actual quilting! I'm still working on my double, handpieced quilt (and will be for a few years still, I suspect), but guess that I will need to hand it over to someone else to do the quilting as a small one was enough of a challenge for my old machine, and it did eat its way through a few needles too!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">The plan is to weave two scarves from this, each to be elasticated double cloth. I'm feeling a bit ambitious - I was always quite scared of the idea of a double cloth as it seemed so complicated - the idea is you have two separate blocks, so that you weave two intermeshed cloths simultaneously, so bits of one warp come through the other to make windows. So it looks different on the top to the bottom. Here is the first pattern repeat for the first scarf - its woven in lambswool, cotton and viscose covered elastic, so once it is finished and steamed it should go nicely crinkly.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div style="text-align: center;">I'm really excited as to how the colours have worked together, you never quite know until you bring them all together on the loom. The pattern is one from Margo Selby's new book <a href="http://www.waterstones.com/waterstonesweb/products/margo+selby/contemporary+weaving+patterns/8483374/" target="_blank">Contemporary Weaving Patterns</a> and I'm looking forward to trying out some more, or making up my own (gasp!) for the second scarf.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />

Especially when it comes off the loom so stiff and unyielding and becomes like proper cloth when its washed and dried.<br />
<br />
This warp has created nearly 4 metres of cloth! This is destined to become 5 cushions (1 or 2 of which will be belated Christmas presents), and three iphone holders. I chose a charcoal grey cotton since this colour worked well with my colour choices on Margo's course, and I'm really pleased with the richness of some of the colours.<br />
<br />
Next time, I will take (more) care to avoid threading errors - correcting errors is all very well if you happen to have a spare heddle in the right place - I had to create two new heddles from thread, which meant that two threads were permanently a little higher than the rest and sometimes got missed. Oh well, its a learning curve...<br />
<br />
Here is a section on the loom, a nice zigzag in recycled silk, cotton and viscose:<br />

I can't wait to get these sewn up and in my folksy shop - my first two sold this weekend, so I'm dead chuffed.<br />
<br />
Now, what to weave next....<br />

(and a plea for help)I had a quick look at my folksy hit count earlier this morning, and couldn't quite believe my eyes as one of my items (my <a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/1160533-Tweed-and-chocolate-brown-linen-phone-cover">tweedy phone holder</a>) had jumped considerably. I scratched my head, and had a look at the folksy <a href="http://www.folksy.com/featured/items">featured items section</a> (just in case) and there it was! I'm so excited as to me it means my business has finally taken off and achieved some 'recognition' if that makes any sense.<br />

<br />
The only problemo I have is that I have run out of the tweed and the place it came from no longer sells it - can anybody help? Its a lightweight wool tweed with a very narrow pattern repeat, and has little yellow and orange flecks in it. I'm obviously very keen to get my hands on some more so I can start making them again, so if you know of any, or can sell me some, I would be soooo very grateful!<br />

Almost as soon as I got back, I got my first warp properly wound and beamed on - a white herdwick wool and started playing with some luxury yarns - bamboo, recycled silk, and tweedy wool. <br />
<br />
My first warp (3.5m) produced enough to make 2 or 3 cushions and an iphone holder (which has now sold, woo hoo!) though it took some nerve to actually cut it up to make something out of it!<br />

My next warp, I wanted to be charcoal grey, and to be used to make Christmas presents. I struggled to find a yarn that was strong enough, so had the bright idea of using sock wool, which has nylon in it to make it more durable. £20 later, I had some that looked the business.... wound it and attempted to get it onto the loom. <br />
<br />
BIG mistake...<br />
<br />
The wool was IMPOSSIBLE - after spending hours getting it into the raddle etc, beaming it on turned into a complete nightmare - the yarn had a lot of static in it, and worse still, the fibres rubbing together as they ran through the cross sticks made them stick together in big clumps. After the second attempt I abandoned it, and turned my attention to another project. I will go back to my original idea, but will probably use a mercerised cotton for the warp instead.<br />
<br />
My latest project was to make a scarf using the tencel I bought earlier last year. I got it all warped up - it moves through the cross sticks really easily - but again I had problems. This time I had got one section of the warp tighter than the other, so the pattern took more easily in that section - but I got a 'sticky shed' (where the shed doesn't clear properly as the threads aren't tight enough). I quickly abandoned my first twill pattern as this was happening underneath:<br />
<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This is a mixed twill of 2/2, 1/3 and 3/1 and it was having difficulty with the 3/1 twill. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So I decided to go for a broken 2/2 twill instead and got this pattern, which I rather like</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">This was fine, apart from the fact that the threads in the tightest part of the warp then began to snap... one by one. Argh!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">So, I decided to cut these two bits off and keep them as samples, and I am hoping that I can keep the warp on the loom, but just rewind it so that it has an even tension all the way across. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wet finished the samples and the cloth feels lovely - drapey and soft - so all being well I will one day be able to weave a lovely scarf out of it :-)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div>They both got a bit creased in my bag, but you get the general idea!<br />
<br />
Next step is to get myself a better loom - I have my eye on an Ashford 8 shaft table loom, so I think I will wait until I get that to do my next warp. Here's hoping!<br />

I really enjoyed the course and learnt an awful lot about weaving and what works well together in terms of colour and texture. It was also really nice to see what everyone else was creating - no two were alike :-)<br />
<br />
The first day we experimented with different weave structures, on point threaded (wool) and straight threaded (bi-colour cotton) warps.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkWNoK7NFKM7-eqbNB8rMOyCskItkizjquOLbxhjddF9HFGJfknmtL0M340KZzDnbkXtl-hxyMIBDsq08vhQuw3Ty_APYPYXxZVdWFVFmSlYzhEOkG1a0FClHPXXe_gM86P_HzYU_glKpL/s1600/P1120600.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhkWNoK7NFKM7-eqbNB8rMOyCskItkizjquOLbxhjddF9HFGJfknmtL0M340KZzDnbkXtl-hxyMIBDsq08vhQuw3Ty_APYPYXxZVdWFVFmSlYzhEOkG1a0FClHPXXe_gM86P_HzYU_glKpL/s320/P1120600.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I started off on the wool warp and had a great time trying out different patterns and types of yarn for the weft<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNmBCoNRMhqZmjre2vKGYTqfRgjWU44DmcXRcjRXLQSvoAtYMkw_mX9JmvOiZob7KRLL2YrQ_43Tk7X5WwopxNr6_sZDKVRPXRszUqfJksYHbxoyWwSNwVdlNyAxRsDvE42UCZx0H2V1XC/s1600/P1120614.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjNmBCoNRMhqZmjre2vKGYTqfRgjWU44DmcXRcjRXLQSvoAtYMkw_mX9JmvOiZob7KRLL2YrQ_43Tk7X5WwopxNr6_sZDKVRPXRszUqfJksYHbxoyWwSNwVdlNyAxRsDvE42UCZx0H2V1XC/s320/P1120614.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
Here you can see lots of different structures - extra weft circles, a chequerboard formed by using a satin next to a twill, goose eye, rib, etc. I fell in love with the colours!<br />
<br />
In the afternoon it was time to switch to the much brighter cotton warp, in my case a yellow and red mix. I found this really challenging as the first few stripes blended in too much with the warp colours. <br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtamXHPf6JtyUYYzY24xDrE1-T7cuby2FIY5bw4sVJuXLTauEuke5IT7gJXqTjQ-VUeoyzq3yARg_xi3K6ruBgX37ITzQZezePNBB_KU2SZKabRR570yBkes75-WJllKCDLUbrwmWY2Uws/s1600/P1120620.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhtamXHPf6JtyUYYzY24xDrE1-T7cuby2FIY5bw4sVJuXLTauEuke5IT7gJXqTjQ-VUeoyzq3yARg_xi3K6ruBgX37ITzQZezePNBB_KU2SZKabRR570yBkes75-WJllKCDLUbrwmWY2Uws/s320/P1120620.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
You can just about see that the blue strip is a herringbone design... so, in theory are the two below it! <br />
<br />
But I persevered and managed to weave a sample which I'm relatively happy with. I much prefer the wool colour palette though. In real life this is much more garish!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRVHMMqib_iup9U3y9l9BHkouh3GGnxH9LCbHiKIPOhT32R1EiSpOWesHT7Uon7_jMh8NbzGAbYyaZW2UTXoYnJxntSughctdIalmovju0TjsiXOucVOuZmvitc5NMDC6JWaXoxLBBipYq/s1600/P1120625.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRVHMMqib_iup9U3y9l9BHkouh3GGnxH9LCbHiKIPOhT32R1EiSpOWesHT7Uon7_jMh8NbzGAbYyaZW2UTXoYnJxntSughctdIalmovju0TjsiXOucVOuZmvitc5NMDC6JWaXoxLBBipYq/s320/P1120625.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Day 2 was our chance to weave an item, and I decided to try and weave enough for a cushion, using the structures I had best liked from Day 1. I chose a palette of blues, greens, reds, oranges and pinks in a mixture of wool, feltable wool and silk.<br />
<br />
This is part way through<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyphenhyphenmnUwO4hFlTYIIYPj6PLW0qAyuRuvB7c8FqKfwhMusFe2UAQN9oObpVOzGlp3_W8FeSuJjGZqv5lVHQWnCqiGu9lrE-U6ugdk0YcTYhDquKtp-XnPQPcWKVE6LKC30X2l-EKxv86gzjP/s1600/P1120636.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEghyphenhyphenmnUwO4hFlTYIIYPj6PLW0qAyuRuvB7c8FqKfwhMusFe2UAQN9oObpVOzGlp3_W8FeSuJjGZqv5lVHQWnCqiGu9lrE-U6ugdk0YcTYhDquKtp-XnPQPcWKVE6LKC30X2l-EKxv86gzjP/s320/P1120636.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>I didn't get much chance to take photos on day 2 as I was frantically trying to get my 14 inches woven by 4pm ;-) but here is my piece coming off the loom<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXnIhF3v8XGcPm9FelBjG1e01poTA5Uk9wMina7f_VbfvnmEI2Ijr_u5ZRzqsVOhh5k95ySxrkgFAv-HsBv8pXPFEiQ9iBhGTbD-3Q85eibdQImhfvg__YG_Bs3QgueXzGZVnuv4zljcDS/s1600/P1120652.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjXnIhF3v8XGcPm9FelBjG1e01poTA5Uk9wMina7f_VbfvnmEI2Ijr_u5ZRzqsVOhh5k95ySxrkgFAv-HsBv8pXPFEiQ9iBhGTbD-3Q85eibdQImhfvg__YG_Bs3QgueXzGZVnuv4zljcDS/s320/P1120652.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
And here is the finished piece!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIkqUPayQTAK59gm6juiHTuoXD2-e1wq9amoXHeUsHjvheawQ1lUbikIMgjZjS19oLn9aCFbgy9TRdnHlL3uIxYpxfYg8xBttFotZzjnOvZeXmmaDWycDozZlN0Gd_PmvCB7ivL8YRmw4c/s1600/P1120656.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiIkqUPayQTAK59gm6juiHTuoXD2-e1wq9amoXHeUsHjvheawQ1lUbikIMgjZjS19oLn9aCFbgy9TRdnHlL3uIxYpxfYg8xBttFotZzjnOvZeXmmaDWycDozZlN0Gd_PmvCB7ivL8YRmw4c/s320/P1120656.JPG" width="320" /></a></div><br />
The next part of the process was the scary bit - I needed to wet finish it and felt the long woollen floats of the circles so that they don't catch. I made the cushion cover first to help stabilise the shape, then washed it with mild detergent in hot water, rubbing the woolly bits to help them felt.<br />
<br />
And this is the finished result, which I am very happy with... now to get my own loom(s) set up... gulp!<br />

I chose autumnal coloured yarn and included a stripe across the centre. I decided to go for shingle stitch to create the texture, which makes for a nice basket weave effect.<br />
<br />
Here is the finished result: the buttons are vintage bone buttons with a lovely patina<br />

<br />
We had a lovely time, lots of pretty coastal walks to do around the western side of the county.<br />
<br />

Any feedback would be gratefully received - I'm sure there will be some tweaking needed, and a whole of lot of tagging to get it compatible with Google. <br />
<br />
Anyway, here it is: <a href="http://www.flemyngdesign.co.uk/">www.flemyngdesign.co.uk</a>. I went for a site hosted by Clikpic, which is designed with photographers in mind, and so far I am pleased with the result. <br />

</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Erm, which hobbies am I currently not working on might be easier to answer! Currently I am dabbling in: photography, sewing </span><a href="http://www.folksy.com/items/579017-funky-hen-paperweight-or-desk-ornament-in-flowery-cord?shop=yes"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">hens</span></a><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;"> and other lovely small things, dressmaking, patchwork, knitting, setting up loom for weaving.... never a dull moment!</span></span><br />

</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Difficult choice. I miss the sea (living as I do about as far away from the sea as you can possibly get), but I do love the dappled light you get in woods, and I can never resist photographing a pretty flower or three.</span></span><br />

</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Growing my own, definitely. Though my poor allotment has suffered this year (much to the disgust of my neighbours, no doubt) I have managed to grow most of our salads.</span></span><br />

</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Boatmen, weavers, farm workers... mostly in the Lincolnshire Fens. Which is odd in some ways, because I can't cope with the Fens for long - too much sky!</span></span></span><br />

</span> </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #666666; line-height: 19px;"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: inherit;">Chips, curry sauce, cheese and a cob generally does me nicely.</span></span><br />

My brave old Elna sewing machine has been kept very busy over the last couple of weeks! Here are just a few pics of some recent projects... more on the way as I have a couple of days off work booked in the next week or two... hooray!<br />
<br />
The first is a pair of linen trousers which I had to employ some forensic techniques to make. My favourite pair of trousers gave up the ghost by the end of last summer - lovely big holes in the inside leg - and rather than trawling the shops in the hope I would find something similar I decided to remake them using the old trousers as a pattern. After what seemed like years of unpicking, I managed to get the waistband, fly and one of the legs dismantled, keeping one leg intact as a guide. It wasn't easy (I've only made one pair of trousers before and that was to an easy easy Burda pattern)... and I had tricksy things like proper pockets to negotiate... but I'm fairly happy with the finished result. I think it needs a bit of remedial work around the fly - the zipper sticks out which is annoying me - but hopefully that will be fairly simple.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4021/4665316595_9d8da20fa1_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4021/4665316595_9d8da20fa1_b.jpg" width="239" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">My favourite part of the trousers is that the waistband and the pocket linings are in Amy Butler fabric, tres funky!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4051/4665316441_cd523ea2fa_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4051/4665316441_cd523ea2fa_b.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">Ok, so what else have I done? Well, I sold my spotted owl and striped iphone holders I made a while ago, so I've made another and cut out cloth for another two - I have finally run out of interfacing, so think I will probably have to go and buy 5m or something next time!</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The fabric for this one is a gorgeous olive green linen which I plundered from one of my skirts which I know will never, ever fit me again, so it was good to be able to reinvent it. The contrast fabric is Amy Butler Daisy Chain in Sweet Jasmine which I think I have fallen in love with.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4043/4677784591_83ac9b7151_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4043/4677784591_83ac9b7151_b.jpg" width="319" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
<a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4010/4678413870_bc98ed28b3_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4010/4678413870_bc98ed28b3_b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
<a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4063/4678413770_002b70f669_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4063/4678413770_002b70f669_b.jpg" width="319" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The iphone holders I have sold so far have all sold on ebay rather than etsy or folksy, so think I will stick with that, and pop it on folksy to keep my shop looking nice :-)</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">The other thing I experimented with at the weekend was machine embroidery, something I've been meaning to try for a while, but have been a bit scared to do, to tell the truth. Am now totally hooked, so will have to think of some things to embroider! Here is an aquilegia, or columbine:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1266/4677784421_f1ef025676_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="319" src="http://farm2.static.flickr.com/1266/4677784421_f1ef025676_b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: left;">And this is my favourite - a pecking hen, based on one of my own lovelies:</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4678413546_4aea9ee755_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4013/4678413546_4aea9ee755_b.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="text-align: left;"><br />

I've discovered a good online photo printing company and have opened two new shops, one on <a href="http://flemyngdesign.etsy.com/">Etsy </a>and one on <a href="http://flemyngdesign.folksy.com/">Folksy</a>, under my other name Flemyng Design which I use for <a href="http://design.flemyng.co.uk/">cards </a>and publishing. The main idea is to produce vintage inspired prints using the through the viewfinder style of finishing, though there will be more conventional prints available too.<br />

<br />
I looked at several on the internet, but they seemed pretty expensive for what they were - so, a trip to B&Q and I had timber, two lengths of dowel, some metal plates and a pretty big drill bit.<br />
<br />
Lots of sawing and sanding later, here it is! I'm really pleased at how robust and sturdy it is... and square... which is the main thing!<br />
<br />

I've ordered some texsolv heddles for my table loom, so hopefully once they arrive I can start work on warping up and getting some samples done.<br />

<br />
But, aren't the colours yummy? The extra yarn will be slightly different - straw instead of gold and blue ming instead of dark teal, but hopefully they will still work...<br />
<br />

Now I just need to work out some designs! Can you tell I'm excited??kateepiehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00036933567356989960noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6159063794542354886.post-19059926727785365892010-05-11T13:58:00.001+01:002010-05-11T14:15:19.107+01:00sewing and weaving updateArgh its been one of those busy weeks where everyday I have thought 'I must post some more stuff on the blog' and then haven't had access to my pictures, or the time to compose my thoughts.<br />
<br />
I had a productive day's sewing over the bank holiday weekend. I bought myself a SciPhone (the Chinese version of the iphone) so thought I would sew myself a cosy for it in the meantime whilst I was waiting for it to arrive in the post. I am really pleased with the phone cosy... I was a little less pleased with the phone (in fact I have sent it back as its rubbish), so the holder is now up for grabs on <a href="http://kateepie.etsy.com/">Etsy</a>.... I do love the Alexander Henry spotted owl print :-)<br />

<br />
<br />
I also thought I would have a go at customising the phone holder for a small laptop or netbook. Here is the finished result, I think it works quite well, and matches a camera or small phone holder I made a while ago.<br />
<br />

Next on the list was a peg bag, as ours is a horrible brown thing from the dreaded Tesco and has been left out in the rain a few too many times. I need a better pattern for this - I think the bag bit that holds the pegs needs to be a lot deeper and I had to fudge the edges. However, I do like the fabric, and was even inspired to embroider a peg on the front! Excuse the fuzzy photo, I need to take better ones :-s.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3512/4598553108_41f44bf8e0_b.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3512/4598553108_41f44bf8e0_b.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><br />
<br />
Last, but not least, I would like to introduce Lucy - my pretty hen doorstop or paperweight. I was inspired by my own hens and wanted something which was decorative, but also functional in some ways. The material is from an old top that no longer fits me (ooh how liberating it was to cut into!) and she now happily sits on my desk. I'm really, really pleased with her, so hopefully there will be some more in the pipeline soon for sale :-)<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
On the loom front, it has arrived! She's now called Millicent (aptly meaning hard worker) and was taken to pieces and put together again in our top room. She is a 4 shaft counterbalance floor loom, made locally in the 1970s from solid beams of mahogany. I spent the day on Sunday cleaning her up and linseed oiling her, and she now looks a beauty. Hopefully, if my yarn arrives on time I will be threading her up and starting to weave some samples later this week... hoorah!<br />
<br />
This photo was taken pre-cleaning and oiling, I hasten to add ;-)<br />
