Inquisitive Felines and Fibers

Yesterday was a banner day for me on fresh ways to treat current projects. While washing dishes I realized that I think I would like to work a hood onto the Updated Drape Shawl I made in the Dazzleaire yarn about a month ago. It’s been sitting on the stand since I made it waiting for that something special to finish it up and I think this just may be it. A hood and a frog, or maybe a hood and an I-cord tie. I’m still not sure about the closure, but the hood is a definite. Now to decide just how I’m going to put it on the shawl. Do I lose the collar or do I put the hood farther back? An interesting project for a cold blustery Sunday in February.

Soon to be hooded.

Experiment with crocheting cotton on the loom.

I did warp the loom with Modea Dea Tutu in Geranium and I can’t wait to see what this looks like woven. This bright, cheery scarf should be just the thing to make the dreary February days pass a little quicker. This is such a fun and forgiving yarn to weave with that I wish I’d gotten more. It’s a wonderful distraction to sit a the loom and work with a colorful fiber after a long day. I find it the perfect way to lose myself and it doesn’t require the concentration that following a knitting or crocheting pattern does. Pure relaxation! Do you have a favorite way to relax with your hobby?

Next project up on the RH loom.
