Computer Bag

This is a 2014 (first project for the new year) project for a friend - a bag for a laptop. She asked for red, so in my usual fashion I am doing a variegated red using various reds mostly dark with a splash of a bright red. 2/2 twill. 6 doubled e.p.i. Warp is terra cotta, burgundy, red, denim blue & dark green. 5-6 ppi. It's looking good!

Here's a pic of my studio rug completed in December 2013. 

I also finished 2 dog rugs in wool. Within 1 day, my one Aussie had chewed half the fringe off. It's in my shop for a conversion to a bound finish using a purchased trim.

Dog Rugs

I am in process of making a couple of dog rugs, 2' X 3" for the front room. They are really my samples for the larger rugs I wish to make for the front room.
I finished weaving the first one this afternoon and I am surprised at the length of time it took to weave just 42" woven length.

1st Dog Rug. 2/2 twill

It is a weft faced 2/2 twill rug using seine twine warp at 6 epi with 2 ends per dent.
The weft is rug wool using 4 strands per pic. Very time consuming. I have to go back & see just how many pics per inch it is.
Basically it is shades of green with a tiny bit of a dull yellow in it. The green stripes leading off to the right is done every 3rd pick. The colours I am using can be seen on the stick shuttles in the picture.

The other rug I am undecided as to what sort of pattern I will use. I will think about it this weekend while I'm at work.
