Roaster Coasters handwoven coasters, aka mug mats.

Red, White, and Blue

And I will be taking a couple of them in gift boxes to Swift Waters.

I'm sending a couple of sets out to the stores, so what's left will go up on Etsy. I already sold a few at GGG and the farmers' market. I'm working on more colors.

And this is a gorgeous red and white cotton/linen kitchen towel that needs to get up on Etsy already!

And now I will begin my next project. I'm thinking shawls. Any thoughts?

Yarn!

Yes! I went up to Webs yesterday to pick up more yarn. I'm working on my line of tencel scarves. It was so difficult to choose what colors I wanted because I couldn't buy one of each! Color in weaving is different from combining colors in knitting, I feel. The very nature of weaving patterns allows the use of more analogous colorways on the one hand, but can also be used to blend colors not ordinarily used in, for example, the clean layout of an advertisement. Even the subtle use of a very bold color in an otherwise subdued piece can change the mood of the woven piece.

It's just so dad-burned fun.

So here is my selection:

Fire combo (reds, oranges, golds), Gray Blue, Black, Spice (on top), Gold, Mountain combo (blues, greens, ochres), and a skein of Glitter (orange, burgundy) from Yarntopia

I am currently winding warp with the Fire combo - yay!

I am very happy to have sold a couple of scarves this week. One is new and one I've had up for the winter:

Snow on Wood scarf

Ruby Diamonds scarf

But this is new, also, in the shop:

Cabernet

I retook pictures of this chenille scarf and I'm much happier with the way they turned out:

Saddleback scarf

Loaded

Not me! I've put a bunch of things in my shop this past week. I just got a request for some placemats from my sister-in-law and I'm working at Swift Waters tomorrow and I'm working on another crocheted flower necklace to take over there.

Treasury on Etsy!

One of my handwoven towels is featured in a Treasury on Etsy. Thank you to Sley the Dent! This particular treasury is a tribute to handwoven towels. They are beautiful and as unique as the weavers but they are also meant to be used! They make great housewarming gifts, too.
