This stole (shown above during blocking) finally moved from WIP to FO last weekend. I had been working on it (not consistently mind you) since last year. Actually, I should qualify my last statement. I had been weaving (yes, weaving) piles of diamonds on my 7" Hazel Rose Diamond Loom from my stash remnants since last year. It didn't really occur to me what my piles of diamonds were destined to become until a few months ago. I was plodding along at a glacial pace before the lightening bolt stuck me brain. After illumination, I definitely rocked and rolled those wool diamonds into stole right snappy.
Here's a pic of my little loom along with one of my first diamonds...
I assembled my little woolen and woven bundles of joy by crocheting them all together with no less than a cone of Lamb's Pride worsted and my trusty G hook.
The finished stole measures about 30" wide by 90" long. It's definitely Autumnal in look and feel.
I have several small looms in various shapes that I use quite regularly. Definitely expect more woven delights from moi!

Wowzers! That's a really neat project!
I love it! Great job. :)
Holy crap. That is AWESOME. Now that certainly opens up a whole new world of weaving to us wee condo-dwellers. Who needs a floor loom when you can have a little diamond?
Wow, that is stunning! The colors are so rich...gorgeous.
Wowzers that is so gorgeous!!!Hugs Darcy
Wow, that's love at first sight! Brilliant.
Kudos to you!! I absolutely love the diamond stole. It almost makes me want to run out and buy a loom, but for crying out loud... I've accumulated way too much craft stuff. LOL Great blog and projects!!
That is simply gorgeous - love the colours, the diamonds, the whole thing!
I love it! It looks like entrelac without as much fussing... oh and no knitting. :P
Gorgeous. I bought several Buxton Brooks weavettes and was just lamenting "Will I use em"-you inspired me to dig em out :)
That looks so freakin' cozy. All toasty and soft....mmmm!
That stole is so lovely. Perfect colors for the season.
Two words: Gor Geous!
GLORIOUS!! Now you need to start up a Project Runway for crocheters/knitters. Filming might take a while, but......

Oh I am SO buying a loom! I love that stole! I purchased a woven stole/wrap at Midwest Fiber Fest this year. *singing* Love it! Thanks for the link to Hazel Rose Looms.
That is stunning. Love the colors. Makes me wish fall would just get here already. I keep wanting to try using a loom. Truly inspiring.
