A Little Weaving

And I mean little!

I have a great big unfinished crochet/weavette blanket lying around so I joined the Square Deal Weave-along. I wanted to have a bit more fun making squares than if I was making them all alone :)

I'm also experimenting by working the squares in different types of yarns and colour combinations.

They were up to week two by the time I found out about it so I had some catching up to and made these last night (while sort of paying attention to the telly)

Week one, window pane lace on my 4 x 4 inch loom:

Weavealong Squares Week 1

Clockwise from top left these are: Orange cotton, purple wool and cotton slubby yarn, dk weight wool (Aussie 8 ply) with the first two rounds in purple and the third round and weaving in plum (and I made a mistake which I shall embroider on so people think I did it on purpose) and finally 8 ply caramel wool. I also did one in light blue fingering weight wool but I need to rephotograph it on a dark background so you can see the pattern better. You'll get to see that one tomorrow, along with my zigzaggy baby hat with the flower in place. Unless I forget...

Week two: Crossroads, also on my 4 x 4 inch loom.

Weavealong Squares Week 2

These are all dk weight wool. Clockwise from top left: Caramel, caramel woven with plum (shown from the back), yellow and pink woven with plum (shown from the front). I might try a slubby purple wool/cotton one woven in another colour tonight and then I'd better get working on my knitting until the week three square comes out.
