made for adventure: July 2008
http://madeforadventure.blogspot.com/2008_07_01_archive.html
Monday, July 28, 2008. I've been weaving all day, and I wove all day Friday too. It's very tedious after you get into the rhythm of the pattern, thus I've also been listening to Jane Austen's. Thursday, July 24, 2008. I've been thinking a lot lately about my intentions and purposes for making things to sell. Am I just making things because of vanity or worldliness or ambition or fame or? What good is it to make clothing? As a Christian, could I be doing more worthwhile things? Tuesday, July 22, 2008.

made for adventure: August 2008
http://madeforadventure.blogspot.com/2008_08_01_archive.html
Wednesday, August 27, 2008. I'm a little late posting this, but the scarves I was weaving here. And they'll be for sale on September 3 with the other new stuff from wiksten's fall collection. I had extra warp left on the loom and wove a rather short one, but I actually really like it styled with a brooch and I'm keeping it for myself. If you end up being one of the lucky ones to purchase a scarf, I would suggest a brooch as another good way to style it. Tuesday, August 19, 2008. Had extra of the tree/bir...

made for adventure: New Book
http://madeforadventure.blogspot.com/2008/10/new-book.html
Wednesday, October 22, 2008. I got a book in the mail today: Clothing from the Hands That Weave by Anita Luvera Mayer. She's practically a legend in the weaving community, and yet I can't seem to find much about her on the web. I did find an interesting little article. By her with some old pictures. I made a version of this shirt a few years ago when I first learned to weave. I just love the concept of this dress. The gores are crocheted and the strips are woven.

made for adventure: Fingerless Gloves
http://madeforadventure.blogspot.com/2008/10/fingerless-gloves.html
Friday, October 17, 2008. We are going camping this weekend! And it's just turned quite chilly out, so I had to finish my fingerless gloves to wear. The pattern I used is from ravelry. In the picture, the left glove was the first try in which I followed the given pattern for the placement of the thumb gusset. It came out that the cable pattern was off-center. So for the right one I moved the thumb gusset over 2 stitches and - hooray, it worked! The cable is centered now! Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom).

made for adventure: dyed scarves
http://madeforadventure.blogspot.com/2008/10/dyed-scarves.html
Thursday, October 30, 2008. My browns were really dead looking (not nice browns), my blues were neon blue. And my reds were neon pink. So after I figured out all the colors were neon, I adjusted by over-dyeing them in compliments to tone them down, and got some better results. Sponsored by the Kansas City Weavers and Fiber Guilds. Friday, Nov. 21, 4-8 pm. Fashion Show at 7 pm. Saturday, Nov.22, 10-5 pm. Sylvester Powell Community Center. 6200 Martway, Mission, KS. Labels: creative hand show. Color Irides...

made for adventure: Color Iridescence Weaving Workshop: Day 1
http://madeforadventure.blogspot.com/2008/10/color-iridescence-weaving-workshop-day.html
Saturday, October 11, 2008. Color Iridescence Weaving Workshop: Day 1. One of the best things about being in the weaver's guild is that we get to have these awesome workshops a couple of times a year. Well this weekend we have weaver Bobbie Irwin giving us a workshop on creating iridescence in woven fabric by combining contrasting colors in the warp and weft. Picture a room full of different kinds of looms all going at once. (It's pretty loud! Here is Bobbie Irwin, wearing an iridescent shirt she wove...

made for adventure: September 2008
http://madeforadventure.blogspot.com/2008_09_01_archive.html
Monday, September 22, 2008. Every fall, one of my favorite weekends is when my dance group. Performs at the Kansas City Renaissance Festival. This year we had gorgeous weather and a great time dancing. These pictures were all taken at the last performance on the second day, so we don't look as bouncy as we normally are. (Most everyone's feet and legs were pretty sore by then.). I caught the birds of prey. I also bought a wooden bow and arrows set. Thursday, September 18, 2008. Cleaning out the Attic.

cristae: June 2010

Monday, June 28, 2010. Wow, I'm old.). If the airline blanket skirt is my favorite, my brown circle skirt is definitely second favorite. I found this vintage brown linen at a garage sale about four years ago and made my first circle skirt. As you can see, the hemline is very uneven, in fact it's not really a. Here's a close-up of the tie and button to keep the opening closed. (notice the sloppy stitching). And here is my next attempt at a circle skirt, which as you can see has an even hemline- hooray!
