It's already Thursday night and I can't believe that I forgot to write my blog last weekend.  Oh dear....I must be losing it!!  But, as they say, better late than never.  I simply can't resist showing you these great photos , taken by my daughter, of my granddaughter modelling the finished coat.  I'm really pleased with the pictures and the weaving.  We decided to go down to the beach for a photoshoot, and managed it just before a very heavy rain storm.  Having now made two coats and a simple jacket, I feel more confident to go ahead and make more garments to sell.  I shall always weave scarves but enjoy the challenge of more complicated things.  I have tonight decided on a different style of loser jacket.  This will take some time because I am getting fairly low on my supplies of spun yarn.  Now the weather is beginning to improve, and the days are getting longer , I shall be back outside in my little art shed to do some more dyeing and spinning.  By the way, together with a good friend who lives in the most beautiful countryside in mid Sussex, and also owns alpacas, I shall  be running some creative fibre workshops.  I shall need to buy a second loom so others can have a go.........

  2. I do love the coat too. It would be interesting to know what you are going to do with the fibre workshops. We are planning some using our alpaca fleece, but we are mainly concentrating on felt. We would have to borrow the local authorities looms I think, I don't think you could pop one of those on the plane to bring with you, unlike a travel spinning wheel :D
