Weave-a-thon Week 2

 I finished the second weave of my December weaving challenge! 



I made a little tapestry of pick-and-pick, tabby, and some rya knots using the Foundations of Weaving class from Lindsey Campbell of Hello Hydrangea. Here are my process photos:

Some pick-and-pick:


Then a lovely diamond shape:


And finally some rya knots in front of the TV:


I love how it turned out! Even more than my first weave of the month, though I like it better since I changed the finishing. I decided to redo how it was attached to the stick, and then I decided to tuck in the fringe, since I didn't like the stringy look at the bottom. I'm much happier with it now:


My next adventure is the large loom from Hello Hydrangea. I was planning to use some roving to make a texture experiment, but then I got inspired by a cross-stitch chart, so now I'm going to weave a plain weave background and cross stitch on it! Should be fun. I'll report back soon!
