It's a wrap!

I finally finished the fringe on the Reader's Wrap Thursday, though I may decide to shorten the fringe a bit yet. I decided to leave the pockets off after all, as the fabric is a little too light to support much weight. I'll do this again but with a heavier yarn (I'm thinking a wool warp with an alpaca weft - yum!). I think it turned out quite nice, though I wish the fabric was a bit heavier. Live and learn! And it might be warm enough for cool summer nights. I might try the same yarn on the floor loom - perhaps a reed wouldn't abrade the warp as badly as the heddle did.

I do have another FO, but it's sewn. I decided to make up a template for a remote control holder (of course I forgot one of the remotes, so it's one 'slot' short). This is for the bedroom, and since most of that top fabric gets tucked between the mattress and the box spring I didn't do much finishing to it. I also used fleece so I wouldn't have to bother worrying about raveling and such.. It took me about two hours to do, including deciding which fabric to use and uncovering one of the sewing machines (my favorite treadle, a Singer 15-88). Ta-da! :-D
Only two more to go! This is my prototype for the two that I need for the living room - one for DH's chair and one for mine (and I'll count the remotes twice this time!). I'm debating whether to use fleece again, as it doesn't have much 'body' to it, but it would feel better on a bare arm. Maybe I can come up with a way to stiffen it that doesn't involve cardboard.... (I'm also considering weaving some cloth from an acrylic yarn I really like for the holder for my chair.)

The plan of the day is to work on the tied rug, and hopefully finish it today; work on the fringe on the placemats (that will probably take more than one day, as I think there are two placemats that need knotting); and knit on the mistake-rib scarf. Oh, and play with the hound; he's already carrying DH's shoe around this morning so I think he needs some attention! LOL
