Gamp #2

Gamp #2

Gamp #2 is finally off the loom.  It was warped on back in March, but I didn’t sit down to weave it until this past week.  Finally, it’s done.  Now I can warp on for a real project.

Tech Specs: 8/2 cotton, alternating green and white; 20 epi on 10 dent reed.

Just in case you were wondering…

The shuttle shelf is not a good place for a glass of wine. Ask me how I know…On second thought, don’t ask.

No May socks either

Nope.  None.  Nada.

Although I had high hopes for working on socks in May, it just didn’t happen.  KLM said no knitting needles, so I put them all in checked baggage.  Then I find out that “no knitting needles” actually meant “no metal knitting needles”, since there was a nice Dutch lady across from the aisle from me, busily working on a scarf.  Once in Italy, I found it easier to occasionally spin on my spindle and juggle wine, bread, cheese, and assortment than it was to knit.  I know, how silly was that?  I didn’t get much spinning done either.

Maybe I’m done with the socks thing for the year, and will only get the occasional sock completed instead of the wild binge in the first few months.  I’ve gotten all the tweaks out of my system for the time being.
