Last Weaving for Now and Needlepoint

I finished another weaving yesterday.  


 I still have several snow-dyed pieces but I am giving the weaving a rest for the moment.

I also got started on my "Mazal Finds Us" challenge piece for the POM guild.  The challenge is to use dice or casting of lots  and the number of 18 (or a multiple of it) to create a piece.  I am going to do needlepoint, mainly because I have a bin of tapestry yarn and a large piece of needlepoint canvas.

The needlepoint canvas has a pattern marked on its back so I am using the flip side.  I will make a grid of 36 squares, 6 X 6, each square 3".  I started marking the grid and then decided it wasn't necessary.  If I mark off the middle square and stitch in it, I will then know how many rows and stitches are needed for each square.

I first have to chose 36 yarn skiens and place them in an opaque bag.  A second opaque bag will have pieces of paper with the location for stitching on the grid (e.g. A3, F5, etc.  I will draw one skien attached the paper to it and said skien will then be stitched in the canvas' corresponding grid location.

Here's the grid partially marked.
