Here is the sampler after being washed and dried.
The warp and tabby are natural 8/2 cotton
The sampler is about 14" long, and 5 1/4" wide
Wefts are (from left to right):
1) Grey blue 'crinkly' rayon - The irregularity of the 'crinkle' yarn made the pattern irregular and turned some of the diamonds into more of a blob. Will be pretty in some other project, but this wasn't the one for it.
2) Dark brown 8/2 rayon - Pattern came out too 'sketchy'. One strand isn't thick enough for pattern weft.
3) Navy blue chenille - See that skinny little row of dark blobs? The chenille was quickly an obvious wrong choice for this. I figured it most likely would be, but since there was some leftover on a bobbin already, tried it out of curiosity.
4) Turquoise 8/2 cotton - The pattern looked nice on this one, but came out too stiff for a scarf. Would be nice for something like a table runner and such though.
5) Dark Green 4/2 cotton - Looked ok, though I like the 8/2 better. Much too stiff for scarves.
6) Dark brown 8/2 rayon, double stranded. The rayon gave it a nice drape. Doubling it up made it thick enough to be a pattern weft, and loose the 'sketchy' look from the first try. This was chosen for the first scarf.
7) Variegated 4/2 cotton - The variegated color was interesting to play with, but the 4/2 is just a bit too thick for this. Very stiff, like the green.
8) Same yarn as #7 with a Tromp-As-Writ treadling, instead of the As-Drawn-In being used for the others.
9) White 8/2 cotton - You can't really see it, but I tried a few shots of white on the natural to see what effect it gave. Might be neat, but it was more work to keep track of than I wanted to do right now.
I definitely need to order the other 3 samplers. Clockwise from top right- Summer, winter, fall, spring. I really love the summer one with fireworks over the water.
Finally getting tired of working with scraps, I decided I wanted to start a sampler. I looked through the books I own, and then decided, why follow someone else's pattern? I'll just do my own! I have enough reference books.

Well, out of town in Annapolis with just my iPhone so we will see what we do this week with photos. Have a few fun photo apps to play with so I will have a little fun with it.
First night was a very late dinner at the local brew pub. Sampler shot of a sampler. It was very tasty
Raw chicken 4 ways: sliced gizzard, sliced liver, white meat tartar (lightly seared), breast meat.
The chicken used is called Yamato Nikudori, specially bred in Nara for taste and texture, raised at subcontracted farmhouses in the Yagyu countryside, personally selected by the head chef in the morning and slaughtered at 130-140 days old.
The flavor of raw chicken is very mild. It has the tender and smooth texture of a premium slice of yellowtail sashimi, without any fattiness or fishiness. Perfect with a little bit of coarsly ground wasabi and soy sauce...
Voodoo donuts in the office! Daryll brought them back from Portland. Instead of only trying one whole sample of these unique creations, I took 6 slivers of donuts for my own Franken-donut creation. Sampled were: oreo, cocoa puff, tootsie roll, Mr. Goodbar flavored (I think), coconut, rice cripsy chocolate and nuts.

This is the East Side sampler: Southern Tier Unearthly Imperial IPA, Brewer’s Alley Kolsch, Flying Dog Gonzo Porter, Dogfish Head India Brown Ale & Weyerbacher Echo. (It starts with Unearthly in the glass with the little star in front of it and goes clockwise.)
