Peacock Stitchery

I just delivered the inventory for our holiday pop-up sale in Chestnut Hill, Philadelphia. The Philadelphia guild of hand Weavers is doing a collective membership pop-up shop to sell all the beautiful things that members have created well stuck at home during Covid. It’s a great place to find Beautiful handmade presents for friends and family. Come on down! There’s even free parking on Wednesday evenings for the holidays. Sale runs from December 7 through the 21st.

Weaving has been happening! These are mug rugs destined for our guild exchange in early December. Front and back are shown, and the third one is technically a squirrel but it’s hard to see.

Finished the rainbow scarf. I felt a little bit like an idiot because I had forgotten this was one of the yarns I got multiple skeins of, so I could’ve just finished the scarf. However I use the spare warp to play with pick up overshot a.k.a. crazy shot à la Myra Wood. It was really cool to work with, and I started getting the hang of it. I even got to show it to Myra in my weave in guild meeting. It’s unique from her book because I made the interest be the warp rather than the pattern left. It meant I was sort of weaving the overshot with negative space.

Real weaving is actually happening!
