And for my Mom, I made a 27 x 39 shawl on the long blue loom and the flower loom, using Homespun Colonial, Deco, and Tudor:
I knew I wanted to create a row of "flowers" to separate the two shawl flat panels, but I needed to experiment with different styles:
Each flower is unique and individual. They are not all the same size; some are even a little 3 dimensional.
I had a lot of fun working on this shawl and it was relatively easy to do. It took 4 skeins of Colonial to make. What I like about it is that is stretches easily, and is warm, yet will allow for plenty of air flow so you don't get too warm wearing it. I had been practicing and learning a lot of different kinds of stitches before I embarked on creating this shawl, so I used what I learned to make it.
The shawl is lovely, and your flowers are amazing. What a creative mind you have! I bet your mom enjoyed the shawl.
