The hood is DONE!

And, I don't even have to knit a little extra mask for it. I found if I don't exactly follow the directions (which I haven't for most of the project, so why start now?) I can pull the 'face hem' out and around my nose and lower face. :-D


(The pulled-looking stitch is probably where I tacked the 'face hem' inside - I need to fix that.) I did knit the neck too long because I read the instructions wrong, and I knit the 'face hem' too wide because I misread the instructions. But I did frog back a bit on the 'face hem' - though not to the required width. But it's warm, and DH says it looks nice (in a surprised tone - not sure what to think of that! :-) ).

I also got the Hearthside loom back up on its stand with DH's assistance. I had to re-tie the warp about 5 times, so haven't started weaving on it yet (and boy are my fingertips sore!).


I am also still working on the shirt; it's coming along. I know I've advanced the warp several times, but there still seems to be a lot on the warp beam. :-( Surely I'm getting close to the end?

I spied something in Weaving Made Easy that I might want to make (a short small project), but all of the RHs have projects on them so I can't start yet (or I need to buy another loom!). I need more hours in the day!

My weaving mojo has taken a hike....

I had to tend to a family emergency so was away from the looms for over a week, and still haven't quite settled back to 'normal'. I finally sat down to the Harp today and had the worst time with tangling threads and being generally uncoordinated. But I did manage to advance the warp once, so I made a tiny bit of progress today.

I still don't have the rug loom up on the stand; I'm hoping to do that tomorrow. I think I'm going to need DH's help this time, as it's already warped, it's HUGE and unwieldy, and my wrist has been bothering me a bit.

The knitted hood is almost finished; I just need to do around the face and it will be done (and I'm loving it!). :-D

I haven't made any progress on anything else - I really need to get in gear! I hope to have photos for the next blog post (because that means I will have done something!). -fingers crossed-
