Rugs!

The days are lengthening.  Soon we will both be outside.  so I am trying to get in weaving now.  Yesterday I finished my first wool rag rug!  It is blue with end stripes of grey with rose borders - old wool blankets and a grey wool lining from a coat.

I am figuring the color scheme of the next one as I work on denim downstairs.  My goal is to weave up the current warp there and move on to a new idea from a Scandinavian rug class I took a couple years ago.  The denim has been a good run, but I am ready for something new!

Here is how I keep track of length as I weave - today I am at the three foot mark of the second rug
