Sleeves, I almost has them.  I think it’s a little easier to see how the top of the Wave and Dimple Kimono works now.  This piece will be folded in half, long side together to make a tube with a hole in the middle.  The hole is, obviously, the neck, and the sleeve part wraps around the side of the body and then down the arms.  It sounds more complicated than it is.

Wednesday I spent a little time warping the loom to make a small cotton plain weave bag.  I was sick yesterday so I never got around to weaving but I wove up the fabric today (but didn’t get a picture) and warped for the strap.  I’m using the instructions from Woven Treasures and the bag came out kind of small, but now that I look at the dimensions in the book, it’s close to what’s there.  I’m using various worsted weight cottons, there’s some Sugar and Cream, some KnitPicks Simply Cotton, some other KnitPicks cotton, I think it’s Comfy but I’m not totally sure.  I used the second color from the edge (it’s KP Simply Cotton in Ginger, I know that) for the weft and I’m following the instructions from the book for a pick up patterned strap.  The bag is really going to be too small to use, I think.  Once I get it washed and sewn together it might be ok.  I’d like to make a nice, big tote bag but I need to get some more cotton yarn first.

I’m still not feeling 100% today, I’m tired and my head hurts, but it is really beautiful outside, it’s warm in the sun (only 57 outside) and the dogs have been out most of the day.  I went and chased them around the yarn this afternoon and it was so nice be outside and not freeze.  I couldn’t get a decent shot of Sally, so here’s my cousin’s dog Chippy, we’re dog sitting this week while they’re out of town.  I’ll think I’ll suck down some coffee and weave for a little bit now.  Have a great weekend.
