If I crocheted

I would make this super cool Granny Stripe Blanket, posted on the Purl Bee site: http://www.purlbee.com/granny-stripe-blanket/

I love the bright stripe of green. 

However, I don't crochet, and the thought of undertaking a new craft with such a big project is too overwhelming. Besides, I imagine cat hair on the blanket, and the dream falls apart.

Dish cloths, that's what I tell myself. Small, square, done in a few hours. I have three looms I work on now, and two have unfinished projects, but that means one is empty and could be warped.  And believe it or not, I could really use some new dish cloths!

Months that Begin with “J”

I just don't feel like weaving in those particular months, January, June, and July. January is understandable because it follows December, a potentially busy weaving month. June is not quite so understandable, other than it's the beginning of summer and maybe I'm busy doing other things. July is very understandable… it's hot.

My little weaving room is un-airconditioned, and I tend to not want to spend more than five minutes on the days that are 90 degrees (and we've had a few this year)! That's not to say I don't read weaving blogs, plan projects, study yarn, check in on Ravelry. But I can't get much done in the way of weaving or knitting.

But, we're eyeing the end of a  "J" month, and I'm starting to think about warping a loom again. Potential projects: double-weave mat with cotton.
