How cool!  I went to the Foothills Craft Guild website a few days ago and look what was showing on the first screen:

This has been a great fall craft show season.  I've seen more people shopping this year than last year and the sales have been much better.  This, to me, is an indicator that our economy is finally turing around.  People are buying fun things, like loopers and potholder looms, not just the essentials.

 



I've been busy making some new bags (still in the fine finishing stage on them) and some new scarves.  Here is the one that I most recently finished and posted:

 

I did not work today.  So, I took advantage of the time and went to the Crafts Center and nearly finished the  Large Log Cabin "V" Shawl that I have on the loom.  I will be ready to finish it on Tuesday.  That will finish the warp that I've been working on for awhile.

                       

 I've been adding to my inventory over the past few weeks. I have several scarves in the works including these recently finished V Scarves (or "Collars", as someone at a recent craft show called them). I really like weaving these scarves.  Plus, these sock ring rugs. Do you remember when we used to see stacks of these rugs at every flea market and craft show? If I can ever get that big loom in my family room working again, I'll have those stacks of rugs back again. 

 

I rethreaded the loom and got in 10 shots before it started acting up this time.  I am convinced that if Gary and I keep trying, we'll get this thing working.  We are now getting ready to replace the cable that goes from the dobby to the cam to the left treadle.  It's all kinked up
