Beads are in my future!

 Holiday presents this year included a hothead propane torch, a rolling stainless steel table to clamp it to, and this wonderful book, Anglo-Saxon Beads 400 - 700 AD!

A Mostly Finished Band!

It is finally done! There is a lot of variability in the band, reflecting my various learning processes with warp tension and such. But I am happy with it! 

Now the question, to wet finish or not? I think I am going to, but first I will go to the store and get some of these shout color catchers to keep the dark blue yarn from bleeding into the lighter colors.   Then I will either tumble dry and iron, or hang up to dry straight.  Not sure which is better, and there are a LOT of opinions out there, still researching.
