Saori Weaving Present

My friend Pam of Gingerbread Snowflakes sent me a wonderful gif!  She made this weaving for me to match my office chair covers ... which you can see, matches perfectly!  It's a silky-soft treat to touch and the yarns are all shiny with fluffy halos.

She has a Saori Weaving Tutorial on her website, if you're interested in making one yourself.

She calls it a mug rug, but there is no way I'm putting my drippy coffee cup on this beautiful thing.  I'm using it as the base for my little forest fantasy tableau.

That is a beautiful weaving, and I read Pam's blog - after all, she's practically a neighbor! So I have actually read her tutorial and am looking forward to trying her weaving process. She definitely got the colors right to match your chair covers!

You know the best people! Pam has a great spirit. Her weaving is beautiful and it even photographs pettable. The tutorial for this was as clear and thoughtful as yours are. I start a new job soon that comes with a desk. I'll have to check the forest fantasy tableau guidelines.

It's beautiful! And you have used it perfectly... It is also fun to see your chair again - I love utilitarian objects that are a pleasure to look at and use!

This is awesome. I have a regular loom and plenty of yarn, so I should definitely check out the differences between my normal weaving and the Saori kind.

That is very cute! I'm inspired to clear out my bag of half balls of wool.

Look what you did while i was away on vacation! I am thrilled to see that the colors match so perfectly!Can you believe it - the woman with practically no yarn stash to speak of had all the perfect colors to match yours?

And I totally love the way you are using it for your forest fantasy. Thank you so much for sharing the pictures. And remember every time you see it that you are loved.

You're right- it's so much better than a placemat! I would love one to put some ornaments on near the window.
