Finished Weaving Project

Mom and I took our summer vacation this year in Charleston, SC (Hey, Laurie and Heather!!) and in Asheville, NC.  While in Asheville, we visited Earth Guild.  I love this place.  I found a weaving kit made of rayon yarn that was supposed to make 3 plain weave scarves.  Well, I had to order another cone of weft yarn, because I just couldn't do 3 identical scarves and had to change up the weaving.  So, the first was plain weave, the second simple 2/2 twill, and the third a 2/2 twill in a chevron pattern.

I have really enjoyed making these, and they have been a great learning experience. I am planning my next project now which will be a Christmas present for my brother.

Update on Cookie Mom....she had her knee replaced on Sept 8th and was up and walking soon there after. She is going through PT now and is doing really well. She is almost up to 120 degrees flexibility in her knee, which the PT's say is enough to get up from any chair and pretty much do any natural everyday movements. They are also working on her shoulder from the break. That is taking a while longer to work on, but she is coming along. We were supposed to try out driving again today, but haven't gotten to it yet. So, that's where we are. Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers!
