3 SAORI hand woven ponchos I made for our three granddaughters .The girl cousins received their birthday gifts all together on thanksgiving
They were not taken off but worn on the trampoline, the slides , and fliting around into the night.
Sparkles do not show up, but their favorite colors are pink!

Two new weavers came to the studio for a try it class Mother and Daughter. HOLIDAYS bring 2 and three generations to the studio they schedule a class for a fun day of weaving no prior knowledge needed. I have classes with families and freinds too. classes offered email me saorisantacruz or check out try it class info
You may notice that there is a splint on one students hand? She had thumb / hand surgery and is unable to knit or crochet BUT she found out durning the class she is able to weave on a SAORI LOOM and with the built in bobbin winder it was easy to wind bobbins too.

Cold weather has me yearning to weave textured softness.
ENTER mini small looped mohair boucle for the perfect addition for texture to winter weavings
Theses are skeins with 250 yards each
This two skein set "lady stark" is gorgeous
we finely have much needed rain here in california…. very grateful ….wood stove keeping us snug and I will be spinning and weaving for the next few days.
peaceful weaving in the redwoods

Just beautiful, Jill. The colors are alive and your three granddaughters are just magical in their ponchos. Lots of wonderful work going on there. Enjoy the holidays!!
ReplyDeletethank you! you know I was pretty close to the cloth so i can not see it as fresh pair of eyes can ...but i will say all three have kept the ponchos on for days. that really thrills me. you never know how hand made gifts will be accepted. Saori weaving so sooo fun. happy holidays to you as well.
