On the loom & Wonky 9s

After conquering the partial seams, weaving was a requirement for this weekend as I have orders for more woven scarves.  One of those wanted the same weft yarn as in the scarf I made for myself. However, she wanted a periwinkle warp thread. Finally a source for the periwinkle that was "not too blue, not too lavender" was found.  Yes, I was picky about it.
So I put it on the loom and started.  When I first put it on the loom, I had my doubts.  It suddenly seemed a bit too lavender.  Oh well, let me weave a few inches and decide.

Oooh... I like it!  I like it a LOT.

That settled, I made some more wonky nine patch blocks.  Actually I only made two of them. 

They are a bit busy but the contrast in both color and value passed the camera  monochrome test. 

So I laid out all the blocks I have made for this so far. 

There are 24 of them.  Which means that I have six more to make. I already have the fabrics cut out all I have to do is stack, cut, sew, press and repeat until those six are complete and I can start to assemble the quilt. Wow, a little at a time really does get it done before you know it. 

And speaking of done, I sat at the loom for a while and kept on weaving.  I find it wonderfully meditative work.  I can just get lost in it. And I did.  Before I knew it, I was finished weaving.  I cut it off the loom and did the finish work.  Would it be bad to keep it for myself? Well, yes it would.  I know the one who commissioned it is eager to get it. This cold snap we are having will be a perfect time to put it to use.

The periwinkle yarn blended with the colored yarn beautifully.  I think I want to do one now with alternating light blue and cream warp threads. 

How about some detail shots of this woven goodness?

Since the yarn changes color as you progress through the skein, you get areas of different colors.  This is what is called a "self-striping yarn."  I love using them for weaving, but they are not easy to come by locally.

I think I had a productive day on Saturday.  I am very happy with my accomplishments for the day. I hope your day was equally good.
