Shielagh Tacey Handwoven

Here’s a photo of the beautiful Glenlee on the Clyde yesterday. Although the weather was very cold and a little snowy people did venture out to see me at the craft fair on board. Sadly today the craft fair was cancelled due to heavy snow. My next craft fair is in two weeks time – 11th/12th December at Merchant Square but in the meantime I will be putting lovely things on to my shop – keep checking here.

I’ve finally had the time to get back to my wonderful Schacht Baby Wolf – happy happy happy.

I decided to make a scarf for myself in ‘Shielagh colours’ using the new yarn I got in America. I’m also making the blocks more like squares rather than rectangles.

I have also started designing my next scarf, using the same structure but adjusting the column widths. I am going to need to make some samples experimenting with the variations I can create. Lots to do!

While I was away in America I thought it’d be a good idea to start a blog, firstly cause I never update my website.. but also because I met a bunch of lovely people at NEWS (New England Weaving Seminar) who I would like to be able to share my weaving with.

Since I got back to the UK I’ve already made a scarf using a structure my aunt taught me at her class and colours requested by carolyn ( http://carolyn-alexander.blogspot.com/) as it is her birthday present. Here are a few photos of it on my loom. It is currently waiting to dry and be pressed then I’ll take a photo of the finished result.
