On Saturday I decided I needed to wake up my weaving brain cells again so I started with a simple plain weave scarf on the Ashford Knitters Loom, using some fluffy Mt Piza yarn bought from Touch Yarns when I was in New Zealand a few years ago.

I wound up using the ball band as a header.

I’d always intended to weave a plain scarf from this yarn, but kept choosing other, more challenging projects. As I’d expected, it made a lovely, cushy scarf.

Then I got stuck into a more complex project – some hand towels in Bendigo Woollen Mills 8ply cotton. I tried to remember how to warp up for log cabin, but got it all wrong and ended up re-threading the reed to make houndstooth.

But since I want to make more of these, for me and Mum, I’ll try the log cabin pattern again. This time actually following the draft.
