Finishing Things at Years End.

Since the holidays started, I have been finishing things...some were in process and others have been things I have wanted to do for a while.

I assembled my 36" 8-shaft table loom that has been in its box since Thanksgiving

I made another Japanese Temari Ball. The design is on opposite sides with a obi between the two as well.

I wove a silver bracelet. I have wanted to do this for over year. I did a weave called "hopsack" - not quite plain weave not quite a 2/2 twill.

And down at the weaving barn, I finished the Sock Monkey Rug! I was able to finish it yesterday after working on it for almost 3 months of Saturdays which included breaks for The Fiber Fest, The Harvest Festival, a Blacksmithing Class, and Thanksgiving.
