The scarves are stunningly beautiful. I just love how incredibly versatile plain weave can be and Karen Selk is one of my favorite speakers/teachers. I know through my other weaving friends in the area that there was a lot of flooding. Good news about your soon to be new kitchen! Thanks for sharing, -ReneeR.

I've had my copy for ages and love that it has swatches in weaving, knitting, beading and embroidery so you can see how the theories work in different media.<br /><br />Stay dry, hon'.

Anything you weave looks great :)<br /><br />Dorothy: I'm so happy that we 'met' as I'm enjoying our chats via email. Your willingness to try new things is inspriring.<br /><br />Cindie and David: you both make such beautiful scarves so a compliment from the two of you is much appreciated.<br /><br />Barb: I feel for those people too. I saw brand new couches and TV's going into dumpsters yesterday.<br /><br />Jenny, Charlotte, Woven-spun, and Fibresofbeing... thanks!<br /><br />Sue: No walls being moved here thankfully! We are assured that this will be a fast transformation, but somehow I doubt that. We had a laundry tub over flow in 2003 and it took 3 months... that was work being done in a much larger square footage than this. The trouble is, it was all over Christmas so its de ja vu all over again! Hubby is on notice that meals under such conditions will be difficult... he says sandwiches are fine. ya right.<br /><br />SusanSusan https://www.blogger.com/profile/09707139508896058818noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-23033433350682767362009-11-24T09:44:42.824-08:002009-11-24T09:44:42.824-08:00Really sorry to hear about the flooding - we'v...Really sorry to hear about the flooding - we've had lots in Cumbria in the Lake District over in the UK and it's so sad to hear. <br /><br />However I love the colour of your scarves, they're really radiant!Charlottehttp://lottiesloomroom.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-58336133954263210602009-11-24T09:30:11.831-08:002009-11-24T09:30:11.831-08:00These are really astonishing effects, and the shaw...These are really astonishing effects, and the shawls are beauties!

...So sorry to hear about the flooding in your area.<br /><br />Your scarves are gorgeous!! Tencel scarves feel wonderful too. It's great that people were buying them right and left - even before they were woven!! That Christmas surprise story is a good one too!<br /><br />My sister-in-law is on month 3 of a kitchen renovation. I think they are moving a wall, so that's part of why it's taking so long. Good luck! The end results will be worth it!! I do think that if you can weave through water flowing through your house, you can weave through a kitchen reno - although cooking might be a different story!<br /><br />SueLife Looms Largehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05522897791564181980noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8767897696623067165.post-88606715886454320212009-11-24T04:16:08.572-08:002009-11-24T04:16:08.572-08:00Very beautiful!
