I've been trying to find someone to give it to and I'm hoping that today will be the day. A friend of a friend is coming by later this morning to look at it. I had to move a lot of yarn and other stuff to get to it. I still have to give is a good dusting. I also have to take the loom part off of the table it sits on or I can't get it through the door.
I found some stuff I had been looking for when I moved the loom. A number of finished pieces that I had put aside for my gift stash. Some more yarn that I couldn't find for a shawl. The second pair of socks I ever knit. I really need to get that room organized. If the loom goes I'll get some more wire cubes and stack them against the wall where the loom was. So I hope that happens.
Here's a small project I'm working on. It's a scarf called Bumble Up, a Spud & Chloe pattern. The pattern and yarn to make it were a gift from my friends L&H. It's been at least a year since they gave it to me. I wonder how they knew I'd be switching my color preferences to gray and neutrals. Anyway, the yarn is Misti Alpaca Chunky and it's so soft. I'm using some size 11US/8.0mm needles. I haven't worked with anything that large since the Great Scarf Explosion back in 1999/2000. I've been working on this scarf when I take a break from my other projects. I should be done in a day or so.
Here's my other current project:
This is my fourth Boneyard Shawl. I'm using some Rowan Summer Tweed from stash. Something I've had since '02. I lost it for a while but found it quite by accident a few days ago. The shawl's quite a bit larger now. I was struggling with the M1 increases. I went to A Stitch In Time and got an Addi Turbo lace needle and that took care of that.
I guess I'd better go dust the loom before it's too late.
p.s. The loom is on its way to its new home.

I thought I'd give weaving a try, but when I looked for a loom and all the accessories, I realized I'd rather spin more. With me, it's either I'm IN 100% or not at all. I even bought a book on weaving. Maybe some day.
I like your new scarf with the chunky yarn. The Boneyard shawl looks great in this color too.
Fortunately, I was able to sample weaving in college. Even though I made a throw, I wasn't that taken with it, thank goodness. Both projects look great. Really like the Spud & Chloe pattern and yarn! L&H have very good taste! Christine/Unr.
Oh OH OH! I love that uncovered project in the Misty Alpaca - If I weren't busy already with Other Things I would cast on. soooo sweet.
Isn't it fun to discover treasure right in your own house>
