Okay - this isn't weaving. It's crocheting. I like to crochet. Hats. I never use a pattern, and each one always turns out differently that I imagine when I start. Some go to charity, some are for friends, and some are commissions They are always a lot of fun, and a great way to use up scrap yarn.

A Little Weaving

My mother asked if I would weave two rugs for her kitchen.  I figured they would be a good first project for the Cranbrook - now named Louise.  We went to a thrift store and found four linen tablecloths, which I cut into strips for warp.  They turned out quite nicely.

and 

While I was weaving the rugs, I warped the old Norwood with some acrylic Mom liked and got her to weaving an afghan for herself:

Once she was finished, I crocheted six rows of doubles around the outside edges to give it more width.  She naps under the afghan she made every day.

In the meantime, my Medieval textile research continues. I wonder if I can replicate this on Louise if I turn the design in the weft.
