In the Queue Wednesday

Now that I've finally finished weaving my Christmas 2009 gifts (!!!), it's time for a new weaving project. Earlier this spring I thought I'd weave fabric that I could use to sew myself a top. But while I was home sick, I had plenty of time to browse the internet for fun weaving kits - and I found this neat bathroom combo of 2 hand towels & a matching rag rug.

The weft of the rug is made from mop string material - isn't that cool? I'm thinking that, with a thick weft material like that, it should weave up really quickly. And I've always liked "rag" rugs for a bathroom, as they can be thrown in the washing machine with some bleach...

The other thing I like about this kit is that the pattern is one I've wanted to try ever since I first got my loom - it's called "log cabin" (for obvious reasons). Isn't it amazing how it looks like the direction of the weaving changes? Even though it doesn't... I can't wait to figure out how it works. :)

I ordered the kit with a rust color as the secondary color (rather than the light blue that is pictured here) and, while I'm not sure when - don't worry, I'll get to this! It's in the queue...
