I's Halloween, October 2009

Well, I can't believe what a great pair of outfits! Attached is a picture of the two of us all dressed up in the same outfits. It's just that she is a lot younger than I am! The outfits at Halloween at Lang Ranch Elementary School always has a really fun parade. The interesting outfit is that her hair is set up as much older than I. I hope everyone has a happy halloween.

Ok, I finished some scarves.

I have been trying to build a number of scarves. This less set came out pretty well and look pretty good to me. I was a little surprised by how long it took me to get them finished.

Here it is on Tuesday and I can hardly believe that I will be done at Lang Ranch by next Friday. Having less than two weeks is going by fast. I am also a little surprised that I have not heard from who ever is going to take over my position. Since I have daily things to repair, I am surprised that they have not yet picked someone to replace me. Well, it's not my job, and in the mean time, I am glad I have the opportunity to start worrying more about what I will be doing with cloth. 

Soon as I can, I'm going to start on more scarves. Right now I am worrying about a new design.

New scarves using black.

I got my hands on a lot of black so I am making a large number of scarves while I play with the colors. Here is a start of what I hope will be pretty black scarves. You can tell that I have a while to go before this stuff is ready to be washed. 

While I am working, I am also waiting for a visit from my sister's son to visit. Orion is should visit this morning and I am looking forward to seeing him today. Also, we will hear him play tomorrow. What a pleasure!  Well, back to work now! I need to continue to work on these scarves!

This tallis is done!

      

 

It looks like it is ready to go! This tallis has taken a lot of work, but it seems to have ended up really attractive. The colors and the atturah turned out very beautiful. I now need to make two bags. I have also added the picture of the corner material and the pattern. I hope to finish this today and go to work on some of the other things that I need to finish. This was certainly one of the hardest tallis I have made.

Drying in the sun air

So, I washed a new tallis after weaving it. The lightly washed was let out to the sun for drying and preparation for sewing and building of a new tallis.

The corners and atturah are prepared. Once it is completely dried and I have a chance to iron it, I can start sewing it together and making the bags for it. 

It's another holiday!

I can hardly believe it! This time of year is always full of holidays. Two weekends was the new holiday of Rosh Hashanah. Last weekend was the start of Kol Nidre, and now this weekend is the start of Sukkot. It seems like I never have time to really get to work on all the things I need to do. The last compute of days I started making more kitchen dish towels.  These are simple cotton dish towels that I hope will soon be ready to go.

This past Thursday was also meeting for the Guild Weaver's conversation group. It went well and we had a good conversation. Now I need to get an email out with a design form for everyone to suggest what they want to do for the next few months. Hopefully we can all figure out about a project that we can share our results and discuss the differences. 

Also, we are all getting ready for the October meeting. Elections are almost there and new officers are on their way. Hopefully the new people will bring a good new set of directions for the guild.
