Weaving (An Extension of Yarn)


I attended my first tapestry group meeting Saturday. The invitation came from a friend that knows I cannot say no to the urges of my "fiber gene." (Shame on you Sharon!) I decided to attend as a spectator. Just wanted to see what it was all about. YEAH, SURE!

Before it was over, I was weaving my own little tapestry. No clue of what I was doing....I just went for it. As I scanned the table covered with the various colors of yarn, my eye fell upon the bag with blue yarns. Of course, the design that emerged would have to include water. It came out more like a rocky shoreline rather than the tranquil beach scene I had anticipated. But all in all, it came out well enough to hang on the wall in my craft room. I'll think I'll hang it next to the my rigid heddle weaving sample.


Now, back to knitting. Gotta finish up some socks!
