wow, I really need to get my act together! How long!!??
Right, so updates (for anyone who still bothers to read this blog). Well, as usual, lots has happened, and nothing at the same time. Hannah now has 2 teeth (see photo) and has been dubbed “Hannah-2-teeth-McCasey”:
I eventually got my warp tied on, have 6 place [...]

Friday the 13th and a bit of brain fever
Posted in General Mess Making, Warping, Weaving on June 13, 2008 | 1 Comment »
Anyone out there ever read any books (or listened to any radio) set in the Victorian / Edwardian era??? Anyone out there have any clue what the hell “Brain fever” actually is / was? Well, I kinda think I’ve got a bit of brain fever, as I’ve been itching to design some new things…This might [...]
Table Mats…Can’t think of a catchy title!

Well, I’ve not been online for a while, which makes me look like a slacker…I’ve got a very good excuse, really I do!
My cotton warp is made and on the loom and have started weaving. The colours are based on colour forecasts for Summer 2008 for interiors, beautiful powder pinks, fleshy tones, [...]
Temporary Insanity (at least I hope it’s temporary!)

So…I reacted to my wooly feelings and went a bit plain with my linen – great stuff, good results: Then, I seemed to hit some kind of Spagetti Junction loop and decided on Friday, (yes..that would be “Friday Weaving”), that I should use some of the lovely mohair I had, along with some of the [...]
The (Linen) bit in the middle

Well, after what seems like “my year of wool” (in fact it was only 4 months!), I knew I’d be heading for a reaction, and it came in the form of linen last weekend. Out with the winter wool, and in with the spring linen.
I wanted to do something relatively quick and satisfying, so I put [...]
And there’s more…On the latest project

I should be getting off my bum and actually doing some more weaving, but I’ve managed to thread-up, reed, tie-on and get weaving in a relatively short period of time, (given that I’ve got a paying Day Job that gets in the way of weaving). I’ve made the warp long enough to weave two scarves [...]
The latest Project (and the best excuse for not doing the ironing)
Posted in Ireland, Warping, Weaving, tagged commission, cotton, handwoven, Mourne Mountains, silk, Weaving on April 6, 2008 | Leave a Comment »
It’s not that I get around to doing the ironing more than once every 2 months anyway, but I’ve currently got the “Leaning Tower of Ironing” hiding in the wardrobe and after receiving a small commission on Friday evening, it’s probably going to need to be rewashed before it gets anywhere close to an iron.
So, [...]
