weaving on little looms

Lazy Dog

 

pup

Lazy was inspired by the same knitting pattern as my Lion. He’s been done for quite awhile, but I couldn’t locate buttons in the stash for eyes. (These are from an old mother-of-pearl cuff link.) The yarn is Stacy Charles Pasha, which I really like for weaving animals. I used 4”x6” Weavette rectangles for the body and head, 4”x4” squares for the legs and tail, 2”x2” squares for the muzzle and spots.

    Glad you’re back, Jana! I was getting worried about you. But, hey, if it’s just lazy, that’s a good thing.

    Oh the guilt! But blogging every day or even every week (lately every month) is beyond my capability. A bit manic-depressive here and I’ve been very distracted by family. We moved my octogenarian mom close by. With her and two little grandsons (maybe three by tomorrow), I haven’t been weaving a lot. But I think about it and lately have been moved to do more than thinking. It’s a sporadic thing… Thanks for your patience!

    Great to see you back! I love the little puppy! I just finished a pair of mittens made with weaveit squares and a knitted cuff. Plushy and warm.

    After reading what you’ve been up to, I gotta say nope, it’s not the lazy! You’ve had a lot on your plate. Glad you are surviving.

    Thank you for your blog and eloomination site. Learning to use a weave it loom has provided me a wonderful source of meditation. I am currently trying out your origami pillow pattern and making a bunch of two-inch remnant squares from yarn, fabric, ribbon, etc. for some to-be-determined patchwork item. Welcome back!

    This is my first visit to your site. I thank you for the tut for t-shirt yarn. This will come in very handy. What really caught my eye was this puppy. It reminded me of Little Orphan Annie’s dog. I look forward to seeing what you do next.:^)

    I love the dog. One day I’ll sit down and make some squares with my weave it.
