Alden Amos Squirrel-cage Swift |
Here's a photo of my AA swift. Walnut...mmmmmmmmmmm. Walnut. The picture doesn't show how smooth and perfect the finish is, or how smoothly it works. It is a beautiful tool!

Close-up of the end of the cage part. He even hid all the screws!
DIY Dishtowels |
My next warp, on the warping reel. The reel speeds things up tremendously, and puts NO strain on my wrist at all. This will be (another) set of dishtowels - 8/2 cotton, sett at 20 epi.
Handwoven scarf |
Remember the blue Shetland Yarn I posted a while back? Here it is, all woven up. The natural yarn is also Shetland, used as warp. The pattern is "Rambling Rose" from Davison's Pattern Book.
Shetland cap |
I had a bunch of yarn left over, so I decided to make a matching hat. It's my first attempt at fairisle......I think it turned out pretty well!
