Weaving!
Over the last six months or so, I've been weaving green-ish-brown-ish-blu-ish squares and triangles, some with a pattern and some plain.
Over the last week or so, I've been sewing them together....
I was very vaguely following this pattern, although I went for neither triangle nor rectangle nor v-shaped, instead making an isosceles trapezium. I observe on looking at it now for the first time in ages that the pattern calls for a crocheted trim around the edge. Hmm. I've never tried crotchet, and I'm not sure if I want to start. We shall see.
Anyway: not terribly interesting pictures are available:
Lots of squares! So many that they don't fit on the table even when it's unfolded!
Squares sewn into strips, ready to be sewn together:
Finished product being (ahem) glamorously modelled in the bedroom mirror:
I'm very pleased that it's finished in time for Holiday*, because I suspect it will get nippy in the desert at night and I'll want a nice little light wrap. I'm also pleased because now that that's finished I can try out the knitting loom I bought a few months ago!
(In more embarrassing news, I just had a phone call from a pimp I didn't know about a job that I have neither memory nor record of having applied for and that, when she told me about it, not only doesn't sound very interesting but also doesn't sound like the sort of thing I'd have applied for unless the advert was shockingly poorly written. I went "Mmm hmm?" a lot.)
* No, I don't think you did know about that, which is very remiss of us. World events permitting, we're off to Ras Al Khaimah for a week next month. We're going to get some sun and some warm, and we're going to ride ponies in the desert and try falconry and look at nature and stuff like that. We might even leave the resort, if we're feeling particularly dynamic: apparently, they have some good History there.
