Two more shawls woven and fringed, they just need a wash. Two more are on the loom. I usually cut off the shawls as I weave them. The thought of all that fringing at once makes me break out into a cold sweat. I am weaving them at the school to take advantage of a 36" 8 harness loom that is at my disposal This way I can fit the fringing in around the rest of my life at home. One and a half scarves in green chenille are on my 17" 4 harness Dorset at home. I got a really great deal on some chenille a couple of years ago and wove a few scarves off last year. I had put them away for the summer, but have had them on the table at market for the past few weeks and people have been showing interest, so I decided to weave the warp that I had made last year. I have some more chenille yarn and may make another few warps depending on time. I also have another handspun scarf to weave. I just love weaving these things off. Talk about instant gratification! Less than 4 hours from balls of yarn to finished scarf (drying time not included )
And upon waking up, I discovered that we have our first snow fall. Just a few inches. But still.

Scarves AND snow in the same post. Yup, it's THAT time of year again. Congrats on the weaving accomplishments!
Brrrrrr... snow? Oh please don't send it west over to me! I have to get my butt in gear and knit up some scarves and hats pretty quick, I went out in the aftermath of the storm yesterday morning and was wearing a store bought hat!! I must've made a dozen or so hats last year but do you think I can find even one!!
Snow! Oh, man! I wish I was there. We'll be lucky to see ice this balmy winter. You are putting all of us lazy weavers to shame. :P
I love the first snow fall where it actually sticks. Winter is wonderful!
