New Project for 2011, A Throw!

I have decided to make a really pretty throw for my Niece. Her birthday is in May, so I think that will give me plenty of time. Just Kidding, It won’t take that long.

I have all the yarn on the sectional beam and now Im off to thread the heddles. The structure I am using I got from www.handweaving.net for 16 shafts. It is a sort of scalloped look. I am using 3/2 Perle Cotton White for most of the throw and at each end I will accentuate the structure with with 3/2 cotton the color of a fresh Green Apple. Her room is decorated in pleasing shades of celery, apple, and sage accents and white. She plans on buying a chase lounge for one of the corners of her room and I pictured her sitting there on her lounge chair snuggled up with a good book and the Throw her Aunt made her. But until then… I better get started!

This should cover my entire wing span. Who knows! This just may serve two purposes… One; I get a Throw for my Niece , Two; I’ll get a little upper body workout!  Well here I go…

Thanks for reading my blog. I never thought someone would read it!
