Power mitts and lots of projects in progress!

I've been busy with house and yard, so have been neglecting my fiber life and this blog...  I haven't been completely idle though. Some of the house tasks have taken place in my studio; I recently got an adjustable height work table which is wonderful and very motivating. It motivated me to start going through the shelves and drawers where I just put things last year when I moved in. My knitting yarn is now sorted by weight (gauge) except for where I have full sweater quantities of yarn. And I destashed some yarn that Mom had bought at a garage sale years ago to a charity that knits for the homeless. I freed up enough room to allocate a shelf to works in progress, so I can reduce the number of cluttery work bags here and there. So far it's been a satisfying endeavor.

C and I have also started the weaving class for her 4H group. She warped 6 inkle looms and I warped 5 rigid heddle looms for the class... Whew! What a lot of prep work. Half the class is working on straps, and half on bag fabric.  I think some of the kids will finish in the December meeting, so we'll have more to warp up for January.

Power Mitts!

These are the fingerless gloves I mentioned in a previous post... they're  from the Power issues of Ply magazine. The rectangle on the top is pin woven, then the sides of the rectangle are picked up and knitted.

I finished the mosaic design for my patio two tables, and bought the glass for it on a shopping trip with my sister.  I confess that I plagiarized the design from a photo I found on the Internet, but it's a good organic design and I think just the right thing for the deck. I'll start cutting and gluing when when it's dry outside!

I finished knitting the Modular Color vest, but it still needs buttons. It scratch but cute.

I'm nearly finished with  with 3 of the 4 towels on the loom; it's possible 5 1/2 yards of warp is still too much for me, as I am bored to tears. Also, the same darn warp thread keeps breaking and I think I've threaded it back in improperly. I'm starting to think of card woven hanging tabs for them, and will start those shortly; I want to get two in the mail before the middle of the month.
