I've a busy day planned.

HI: 119  Cherry Red
LO: 88  Glowing Gold

Two rows temperatures and two rows white done.  Hemstitching done.  Now for soaking the raffia and starting the weaving.  It's pretty hot out there.  The loom room is nice.

Whoopee!  Weaving again!  Gone native.  Weaving with raffia.


 
 
I dampened the raffia this time but I don't like the results any more than when I wove with raffia before.  Found a weaver on Ravelry that used raffia for some wall hangings and she wove three together in the weft and left the ends out and trimmed them later.  Raffia is just not supple enough to be turned in on itself.  I'll use this first little part for a breakfast table doily or such.  And start over.
