A LITTLE OF THIS AND THAT

I finished the mug rugs;  6 of them in fact!  They are 5 x 5".  I am not a coffee or tea drinker but I do like hot chocolate~
I made another kid's hat with the yarn I bought during last week's shop Hop when we made a side trip to JoAnn Fabric's.
I needed a raddle for the WAL I have joined starting April 1st. 
 This helps keep all of the warp threads lined up so I can thread them in the heddles and reed before I can begin weaving!  It is a good thing I have a bin of wood scraps so that I could make it myself--not bad for an hour's work of cutting, sanding, staining, drilling and nailing to save $70!
I am drawing to a close on the quilt on the frame--another 1/2 hour and I will be done!  I just didn't have anymore standing time left in me yesterday! lol

And today is another Shop Hop excursion!  We are not travelling so far afield today but still have 4-5 stops to keep us busy!

  2. You made your own raddle?????? That's my jaw you just heard dropping to the floor.
    When I bought my loom it came with many of the doo dads it needed even though I had no idea what they were for at the time. Then Mere sent me all her unused weaving tools including a $$$ bobbin winder. Other people sent me all kinds of shuttles and such. I even had someone send me a GIANT carton of weaving cotton. I must have
    picked the right time to start weaving because there must have been a lot of ex weavers reading my blog who found a place to unload all their stuff. I was so grateful.
