The first one I'm going to keep for myself so I did a bit more work on it than I usually do. It's Jeanne Tams "Garden Path" done with Caron's Simply Soft yarn in bone on white monk's cloth. The lattice is something I worked out on my own. I love the shade of this yarn and refer to it as golden beige because that's what it looks like to me. I think it looks very elegant on the white fabric but I plan to try it on the ecru at some time, too.
The second one is Jeanne Tams "Hither and Thither" using Caron's Simply Soft yarns in "persimmon" and "sunshine" on white monk's cloth. Try as I could, I wasn't able to get decent pictures showing the lovely colors here. It's much more colorful than the photo shows.
Both of these patterns were fairly easy to do but the "Garden Path" was my favorite. It's going on my diningroom table just as soon as I do the ironing!
The craft is time consuming but so enjoyable. It's surprising sometimes how much thought meandering we do while weaving, too. It has a calming effect on us and takes away all the stress in our lives. Happy weaving!
