More Origami Bags

This morning I sewed up two more origami bags. You can see a previous bag in this post. It's gone to a new home. The sister bags hung out for a while over a living room lamp, and then went outdoors for some more pictures.

They are especially handy as knitting project bags, carryalls for a trip to the library, or the farmer's market.

The warps are all the same. The weft on this one is black...

...and on this one is blue.

The weather this week has been crazy. First there were torrential rain and flooding, lots of mud, then a dusting of snow, and yesterday temps in the 70's. Today is cloudy and warm, and I was able to get out for a walk before the expected rain. My favorite tree was surrounded by ducks and geese, and a light dusting of children covered its branches.

Thoreau's Cabin sat in dignified isolation. 

Spots

Apologies. This one was in the queue for posting on Feb. 5, but never got published. A little bit of huck, and some more spots. Enjoy.

Fourth Tied-On Warp and a Selfie

The fourth, and I think the last, warp has been tied on to this old friend, a straight threading on 16 shafts. I've had a lot of fun with it. 

After the winding on, I can enjoy the color gradations, here seen behind the heddles. The darker warp gradations are only along one selvedge.

Ready to weave.

The first few inches of the weaving. This is a simple dobby design from handweaving.net. I think it will showcase the ombré warp nicely.

A closer view.

And here's a funny picture. I put my smart phone underneath the weaving, to catch the reverse side, as it's much more interesting than the right side. I didn't realize that I'd taken a selfie in the process.
