Band for Bugshaw
I enjoyed weaving these. All second-hand yarn, but I really love working with the greenish self-patterning yarn. I don't know what it's made of, but it feels a bit like cotton, and the colours really come to life with the right lighting. (which I never seem to have when taking photos!)
I made three in the end - because the patterns were pretty and I really liked the way the yarns worked together.
Bugshaw, when picking which one you want, the chain one us 21cm excluding fringe; the cross/diamond pattern is also 21cm excluding fringe, and the little bookworm (which I know is too short for you, is 13cm excluding fringe.
Fringe can be trimmed to suit, thought I wouldn't cut all of it off. It can also be twisted or plaited, etc.
All of them have different patterns on the back, which can be seen here - www.ravelry.com/projects/JudithProctor/rug-for-bug
The ones Bugshaw doesn't choose are available to anyone willing to make a donation to either www.clientearth.org/ or www.worldlandtrust.org/
As usual, I'm open to requests for belts, bagstraps, decorative bands for clothing, dog leads, bookmarks, etc. (Tablet weaving is very strong)
All I ask in return is that you support my favourite environmental charities and help make the world a tiny bit safer for when my beloved granddaughter is an adult.
By the time she's old enough to vote, we will either have managed to rein back carbon emissions, or we will have screwed it up so badly that nothing her generation can do will be enough to stop catastrophic changes to the climate.
Actually, I'll also take environmental pledges. eg. If you fly regularly, I'll happily take giving up aviation for a trip you would normally take. If you're a regular meat eater, I'd take a pledge to have a meat free day every week, etc.
