 Thanks Guys, I'm going to meet up with Gordon next Wednssday in Portland to do the handoff on our bow. I was wandering if the arrows and quiver should go with him as well. I should be able to get those points halfted on them by then so I could take them along as well.  Keenan

Hi everyone. I just finished the bow sock this Saturday. I just got a new system, with Vista, so I am pulling out my hair trying to get my camera to download, so I'll have pics up by tonight, using my laptop with XP.

Here is the sock!

I wove it out of green wool rug yarn, instead of the red I had showed before. I just wasn't entirely happy with the last effort. The sock is trimmed with a tablet woven band, a very ancient form of weaving. I used linen thread to sew it, and let the thread show a bit around the mouth of the sock and on the edges of the band. The tie thread is reverse twisted linen thread, and is supposed to look like a bow string. I used 1000 yards of green thread on this project, believe it or not.

The sock is plenty long and roomy enough for the bow. The last thing I have to do is put a couple of fat bone or glass beads on the ends of the tie string.

So, check me off the list! Hope you guys like it, and it is worthy of the bow and the rest.
