Zen weaving

My job can be stressful at times, and the hours can be long. Since I started a new job a month ago, the last few weeks have been especially intense. In order to keep myself sane and happy, I've been doing a few things:
  • work out regularly with a trainer and work out buddy
  • get massages
  • check out new restaurants in NYC
  • spend quality time with friends
Today, I added to this list with a phone call to Loop of the Loom, a hand-weaving studio that specializes in Saori, a Zen art. I reserved a loom for six straight hours on Saturday so that I could weave in peace, away from computers and TV's.

This is my creation from last year (not the sheep, the scarf).


I'm looking forward to a peaceful Saturday away from modern technology.

What should I weave? I'm thinking either a chunky scarf in shades of blue or grey, or a light, spring scarf in shades of light grey and white with a touch of silver. Any ideas?
