Tablet weaving, gardening

Those are my 8 foot tall sugar pea vines.
That is the first blosom presenting.

I am weaving a band on my PVC loom.
The cards at the top are a reed, and the lower cards are the working cards. The section under the pin is all 4F turning.
The section above the pin is a combination of turning.
The pattern was found as part of "gudrum's tabletweaving thingy", a free computer program for tabletweaving patterns.

pin looms

I have been experimenting with pin looms, other wise know as loomette, or weavette. Here are pictures of my results.

The top square is done with 1 strand of size 80 tatting thread. that is about the same diameter as 'quiliting' sewing thread.

The second squre is done with 2 strands. The squares were done with pins pushed into a piece of foam, following the squres on 10sqi graph paper.

This is a diamond shaped loom. It is about 6" long on the longest diagonal.

I used nylon tape yarn. the loose diamond is done on every other peg.

The diamond peg loom is tricky to use, as the ribbon packs very tighlty.

flat fish

I had a sucessfull fishing trip the other day... I caught my fist 'keeper' fish, a flounder. The fish has eyes on the top of the head and blends perfectly with the bottom of the river. After learning to fillet the fish, it tasted wonderful!
