We are dashing out the door for Seattle. I have 13 scarves, 10 lap robes/throws (“peerie blankets”) and 2 wallhangings for the Seattle Weavers’ Guild show that runs Oct 27-29 at St Marks Cathedral on Capital Hill in Seattle (see sidebar for more info). Unbelievable amount of work getting them all finished, inventoried and labeled!
Here are the 6 new little blankets, again all done with 2-ply Shetland wool:
Blue Corn Cafe yarns
Purples - last one off the loom!
Shetland natural marled yarns with shades of Green
Greens & Browns with Lemon Yellow
Beach and Surf
Shetland Sheep natural colors (undyed)
I also put 46 yards of rug warp on the loom last week, and wove 2 custom rugs to bring over to Seattle for delivery. I am pretty happy with this 6-foot runner that my friends’ ordered for their kitchen:
It has been beautiful in the valley this week with lots of fall color, particularly the cottonwoods in bright golden yellow. There is snow in the high country, too. Here was the scene when we drove over Washington Pass last week:
Twisp of Fate 
That’s a whole lot of work! See you tomorrow!
Hi Katie, Brian and I went to the show this evening and came home with three items handwoven by Katie Swanson… yep, that Shetland marled lap robe pictured above and one of your beautiful scarves are going to be given as Christmas presents, and one lap robe (turqoiseish blues) belongs to me me me!! We looked all over for you, but you must have been having a well-deserved rest. I will be back on Saturday with a friend, so hope to see you then.
Gosh, thanks Sheila! I will be working the floor tomorrow (Friday) from 3-5 then in the back room logging sales and updating inventory sheets from 5-8…but probably not there on Saturday.
