A new scarf on the go in M's and W's weave which needs me to concentrate. If I dream off I Iose the plot in my treadling. Which happens!

Keeping dry inside at the loom on this horribly wet and windy January day but still exercising my body, weaving. It's pretty physical and I have to keep track of the treadling order so hopefully doing me some good. Cushion covers in lovely blue faced Leicester yarn from West Yorkshire Spinners.

My dear friend Julia has been robbed of this beautiful bowl. So much work!. Please share.

STOLEN, yesterday. If you see this bowl please DM me. It’s the latest of many pieces this year to have been nicked from my studio gallery. I’ve informed the police, I’ll keep an eye on auction sites, I’m looking into CCTV and I hope the fleas of a thousand camels infest their armpits.

Making slow but steady progress with my tapestry now that the sunny weather isn't beckoning me outside.
