Four Towels Finished


Day 51:
"Four towels finished,
And a partridge in a pear tree!"

Boy, that went fast! I thought this weaving project would take a month or so to complete. I only started weaving five days ago and took the project off the loom last night. By bedtime, I had fringe tied on two of the four towels and decided to leave the others until morning. It took me less than an hour to finish that task today, and then I pitched them in the washing machine for fulling, a process which plumps up the fibers and makes the weave more compact.

And now I'm at loose ends...pun intended. I haven't quite decided what my next project will be, but one thing is certain: I want it to occupy a few more hours than this one did!
