ACEO

Hey, I finally got around to taking some pictures of my first ACEO! For those of you who don't know what an ACEO is (I didn't either until a couple weeks ago), Wiki has a nice explanation.

So, anywho, here it is:


Cute little thing, huh? It's woven in doubleweave pickup, which can be insanely slow, but allows you to make fun patterns even just on a little four-shaft loom. EtsyFAST is doing a little group project of sorts to make fiber ACEOs, which I think is a great idea...

On other fronts, the shawl is progressing! I've woven about 27" so far - and have discovered that since it is so wide I can't weave for more than a half hour or so at a time without getting a big ol' backache. Sigh. Getting old. The shawl, though, is lovely, love that Zephyr yarn! Almost feels like cheating when you start out with such a lovely fiber...

Kristen, your ACEO is lovely. Way to go.... I don't think that I will be getting one done.

Thanks so much Maple! It was fun, but too much pickup makes me cross-eyed and grumpy, lol, so this was just about the right size.
