The summer has been a series of random projects, doing what amuses me, instead of trying too hard to feed the Etsy shop. Below, you will find my Mosaic Knitting Sampler. It seems that mosaic knitting is where it’s at, for the present at least. These designs are taken from Barbara G. Walker’s book Mosaic Knitting. I used two colors of Berrocco Ultra Alpaca, and just kept knitting until the piece got really out of hand. After I washed and dried it, I had to lay it out on the floor to photograph, and only then could I shoot it in sections. Don’t have a clue what I will do with it. It is much too long for a scarf. Ideas?

On the sewing front, I made this jeans jacket style jacket from some cotton/linen fabric I picked up about 3 years ago. I took the picture before I had buttons to put on it. Now, I do, and it’s all done. Many mistakes were made, but it still looks fine!

As for weaving, I wove two chenille scarfs using my new colorway Sand Dunes.

As is my habit, I supplemented the space dyed yarn with solid colors: light blue, azure blue, and camel. Look for these in my Etsy shop soon!

I am putting a new warp on the Ashford loom now, a 6 harness Deflected Double Weave design I found in the first issue of Weft Magazine by Janet Phillips. This is strictly a learning experience, my first time around with this technique. No pictures yet. Hoping for the best!
