The Wolf Pup loom was reserved for handspun shawls—I had put a dummy warp on it, and just tied individual handspun warps to that, to minimize loom waste. I'm now ready to move on to another project on that loom. Meanwhile, here's the last handspun shawl, in hundreds of shades of green. I took every green in my stash and threw it in this warp. Here and there is a blip of pink or bright orange for a bit of punch. It's been washed and is now out on the deck to dry. I hope the birds don't get at it.
And while in green mode, I had the urge to make a little book with some leftovers of paper. I haven't made a book in a while, and my skills are rusty. I'm having to relearn how to do the headbands. Still, not too bad. The covers are wrapped in green lokta paper with embedded leaves, and the leaf button fastener is ceramic.
And it looks like I'm not the only one who's weaving today. A sure sign that summer's coming to an end, even though it doesn't feel like it. Click to enlarge—this is a pretty nice construction.
And speaking of insects (I know, I know, spiders aren't insects, they're arachnids), several of you asked about yesterday's picture of a wasp's nest. I believe the critters who built this are organ pipe mud daubers. They are not harmful to humans and don't sting unless threatened. The holes indicate that the nest has been abandoned.
