Weaving completed

[altivo]

At last, this whole nagging project is done. It has taken about ten months, though admittedly I wasn't working at it steadily. I would become disgusted with results I considered inadequate, and stop work for weeks on end. It was a "learning" experience (sarcastic euphemism, but also true.) Anyway, here is the pile of twenty finished squares that will go to the appropriate ten people this week.



Half of the total squares were worked in some shade of purple, my least favorite color. Definitely had enough of that.

In other news, Gary found someone with a single female Khaki Campbell duck in need of a home with other ducks. We drove up to a farm near the state line this morning and brought her back. He was nervous that our elderly drake might not accept her, but within five minutes of introducing the two, she was following him around everywhere and both seemed quite pleased. She had been living with chickens, and the chickens kept picking on her. Reputedly, she lays up to six eggs a week. We shall see.

Congrats on finishing that project. *s*

And good luck with the duck; I hope she'll lay as many eggs as was claimed. :) (I presume you'll be using these as food, right?)

Yes, we use the duck eggs in baking mostly. But the lady we got the duck from said she'd be willing to "set" some eggs under one of her hens in the spring if we want more ducklings. That will depend on whether we see signs of mating activity. I'm not sure our ten year old male is up to it.
