This week I have been doing some weaving. A little over a year and half ago I purchased a Rigid Heddle loom. I tried to sale it awhile back but could not find any takers. Therefore last week I decided to go ahead and try to use it. As is normal there was a bit of a learning curve with some trial and error but finally got some cute mug rugs and potholders made using New Zealand Rug Yarn which I then felted. They will make some nice gifts for later on.
I did finish a new cotton cardi but still need to get it blocked and buttons sewn on. I am almost done with a cotton tee for one of my crochet classes but ran out of yarn. Have also made some progress on the shawl (also for a class and also the Wound Warriors Sempier Fie Ball). I also did more work on my crocheted socks (have one almost finished).
About Me
- Sharon Abbott Cowan
- I am a 67 year old great grandmother who has a number of projects and venues in my life. I retired from work as therapist for chemically dependent individuals, predominately adults but occassionally adolescents. My current job is for a local yarn shop that is converting from a brick-and-motar store to an on-line store. I'm an avid crafter, currently doing a lot of knitting and crocheting for self, family, friends, charity, and for sale. I have enjoyed writing since I was a young girl. Areas of interest are history, archeology, geneology, reading, and Christian missions. I want to be a perfect example of the love of God to a hurting world but usually fall far below that mark. I am certified by Craft Yarn Council as both a crochet and a knitting instructor. In addition to teach I also enjoy designing both knitting and crocheting patterns. My patterns are on sale and free in my Ravelry.com store. I am also a charter member of the local chapter of the Crochet Guild of America.
