Flower Field scarf

My "Flower Field" series new piece.
I made several shawls of this series, but this is the first time creating "scarf" for this series.
This is now at Minnetonka Center for the Arts for their Holiday Gift Sale starts on Nov. 18 at 6pm.

The colors didn't turn out well in this picture.
Yes, actual colors are much more beautiful!!
I feel like weaving another "Flower Field" scarf!

Happy Weaving.

Corn yarn and Hound's-tooth check

I met a couple at the Shepherd's harvest last May. They were next to my booth.
They were selling CORN YARN!!
If you think "Oh, that's from cornhusk, isn't it?"
You are wrong!!
It's from CORN itself.

It was new to me, so I purchased a couple of colors.
Then, I finished this.
I tried a hound's tooth check. I don't even remember when the last time I wove this check.
I am ready to show this scarf to this couple they are going to be in Hopkins tomorrow for an event.
They want to see how their yarn will become when it is woven.

I also did a little bit of needle felting a couple of days ago while watching TV at night.
I made 3 snowmen and apples for Christsmas ornaments.
They are not done yet.
I need to look for small branches for snowmen's arms.
This is my first time making 3D pieces.
I love them!
After taking these pictures, my dog Fuku ate a whole snowman.
When I saw him, he was chewing the second snowman. OMG!
It's my fault. I know he eats rovings and left them where he can reach..., but it took me a long time to make these!!

I am a part of the Winter Gift Show at the Minnetonka Center for the Arts for the first time this year and Fiber Fair at the Textile Center the end of next week.

I need to get ready for these two middle of next week.

Now, time to get to weave!!

Happy Weaving!

4 harnesses loom and....

I finally started working on a 4 harness loom!!
Yes, SAORI makes 4 haness looms, too. I have the attachment to make it a 4 harness loom.
One SAORI 60 (not foldable one) is now a 4 harness loom!
I have only done a little bit so far. The big difference is that you have to move your feet A LOT!!
I need to get used to it, but it's FUN!

Marie who visited us last month gave us a quick workshop of two color-interlocking warp and circular warp.
I am liking the interlocking warp a lot! I have done it long time ago, so I forgot about it.
Thank you to Marie who was willing to show us.
I am doing it before I forget again....
If you would like to learn about two colors interlocking warp, I will show you how!!

Now, all the trees are so beautiful.
That inspired me to weave one banner.
The trees have been inspiring me a lot, but I am not able to catching up.....

I now focus on making items for "Winter Gift Shows".
Texitile Center gift shop, Minnetonka Art Center, Weavers Guild Fiber Fair (Nov. 12-14)

Next year, there are three shows planned.
One of them is going to be a SAORI Studio "FUN" show at a clinic in Minneapolis.
Yes, this is for everyone who is interested in participating.
You have plenty of time!!

Happy Weaving!
