Weaverly

The last few days have been devoted to sewing the final section of blanket to its companion strips.

The blanket looks pretty good on the bed, but it’s not quite wide enough yet. I think two more strips, one along each side, will be just about right.

The pillow on the right is doublewoven jacquard from many years ago, in silk noil and wool. The gray one in front is also silk noil, dobby woven, 16 shafts. The stripey one is weft-faced twill, with odds & ends of handspun wool on a linen warp.

And before the ice storm arrives , and while we still have electricity, I baked a loaf of bread. It’s fairly level, not the dreaded ski slope loaf.

Bundle up, everybody. I’ll talk to you on the other side.
