Utterly Warped: I'm Grounded.
http://utterlywarped.blogspot.com/2015/04/im-grounded.html
My knotted and twisted adventures into weaving. Apr 27, 2015. The doctor took away my playthings and all my pretties. :(. He has grounded me from everything I enjoy doing with my hands for a couple of weeks. weaving. knitting. crocheting. drawing. If it involves bending my head over to see what I'm doing; it's a no-no. pout. So basically I can spend ALL day surfing the internet, playing on Pinterest, having Netflix marathons, and sleeping. WHEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE! Over on Pinterest I'm known as whimzeenator.

Utterly Warped: Rock-A-Bye Blankie
http://utterlywarped.blogspot.com/2015/04/rock-bye-blankie.html
My knotted and twisted adventures into weaving. Apr 15, 2015. I'm breaking away from weaving scarves to try to weave a baby blanket. You heard it here first. I am going to try to see if I can weave a baby blanket and create my own pattern. OOOPS! I mean draft. Weavers draft. That sounds so wishy-washy to me. Why is it draft? Drafts aren't final. It is still in the works. A pattern is final. It's written. A draft is still being written. No wonder weavers are warped! I'm using 3/2 cotton from Valley Yarns.

http://utterlywarped.blogspot.com/2015/04/pick-up-schticks.html
My knotted and twisted adventures into weaving. Apr 6, 2015. I've got another class! My second at CHH. In two weeks. I'm extra excited because DeeDee will be teaching this class, too. She's a great teacher. I learn a lot from her. This class is Rigid Heddle 2: A Plethora of PickUps. We're going to learn how to use a pickup stick with the rigid heddle. It creates lace patterns. We're going to make a sampler scarf with lots of different patterns. And especially when they can't count to themselves. UGH!
