Loom schedule

This is currently cracking me up but between wanting to do major stash-reduction pieces and an upcoming class I feel like I'm having to book time on my looms! 

I do not need another loom, and I repeat, I do not need another loom. Just to be clear.

What's the schedule look like? The Baby Mac is free and waiting for the double Huck class I'm taking with Callie Booker that started today. The two baby blankets on the Gilmore are in progress and should finish quickly.

I suspect the Mac will be occupied with double huck through the end of March.

Next up on the Gilmore will be some yardage in Bronson lace for my study group; I'm working on specs now.  I'd like to use up some of the 40/2 or 48/2 linen I have (I need to McMorran it again) but I don't want a new structure and a new fiber at the same time so I'm going to use the red or the green or the blue 20/2 cotton that I have; I think it'll be lovely. 

What else do I have lined up?

  • I have three cones of very fine linen that I'd like to play with; I think more fabric for summer shirts. The benefit to working on this during the winter is the humidity makes linen weaving easier.

  • I have 5 or 6 more skeins of Graceful, in two colorways. I'd like to use some of it as warp and that slubby silk, dyed a darker color as weft to make yardage for a woven sweatshirt. 
  • I have a undulating twill Scarf Kit that was Kathy's; that would be pretty easy and would free up one of the bins plus but a couple of scarves into the Finished Object state.
  • This ikat warp (mentioned last post) would like to be towels. Turns out I have a small amount of hand dyed  8/2 cotton in dark purple, green, and yellow that I would use sparingly to pop the purple...
