Weaving!

The loom has been in the house for just over five weeks, and already I'm in scarf heaven.
This black and white number was my first attempt. The selvedges aren't great, but I'm pleased with it as a first effort.
Then came this multi-coloured effort. It's 100% acrylic, but surprisingly soft. I bought it at Ally Pally a couple of years ago, because I fell in love with it, but never knew what to knit. It's interesting, on the skein, it looked more pink and lilac, so I was surprised at how much yellow came through, but it seems to be well received.
And this was my first attempt at solo warping. I thought that it was going to go hideously wrong, but actually, it was fine. Again, a popular effort.
More to follow - as the stash (at last) reduces.
