Making Progress - and then some !

Now the count is up to 3 towels on the loom.  I will have just enough warp left to make a dish cloth or two and a sample.  One of my friends (who shall remain nameless - you know who you are) told me to start a binder with samples and information of the pieces I do.  That is such a good idea,  so along with my blogging I will have an actual sample of the project that was done.



Lot's of weaving.


They are almost ready to come off the loom.  A couple more passes with the shuttle and this project will be done.

Shadow Weave - new structure for me

Image
After admiring many scarves over the last couple of years, I have finally decided to take the plunge and play with the Shadow Weave structure.   This is my attempt.  Just sampling and trying to get the sett right.  Pattern is from Jan/Feb Handwoven 2012.   In another color combo and I like it too... The finished product !!

Summer Over - Weaving Again

Image
This summer for some reason has been exceptionally busy.  Not sure why, life just gets in the way sometimes.  Hopefully things will start slowing down and I can get back to doing what I love....weaving and seeing what catches my eye to make.  Lots of ideas and NEVER enough time. These are the latest colors I am working with.  16/2 Linen.  I have high hopes for this project in a shadow weave.   The progress has been slow.   I was able to get some weaving done last weekend.  So far this variation of Shadow Weave is turning out nice and very bright.   The linen is a crisp fiber and it is turning out beautiful.  Hopefully, when it is all said and done it will be a table runner. The final product.  It was a slow weave, but I learned a lot.

Time to play catch up!

Image
It has been almost a year since my last post and yes, shame on me.   Life gets too busy some time.  I can't wait until retirement, but from what I  hear, life will be even busier.  But busy with my weaving and fiber animals. Here is a variety of pictures of things that have been in progress over this last year.  Hannah Blanket / Throw - Tuna Wool - Double Weave Lunatic Fringe - napkins, dishtowel and place mat project - Plain Weave and Rep Weave Pendleton - Tuna Wool scarf with Rayon bumpy fun yarn for white stripe. Bockens Linen - Shadow Weave table runner Krokbragd Rug / Wall Hanging  I was able to sneak up to the ANWG Conference this year.  My mini-education/vacation in Bellingham, Washington.  It was a perfect time of year to go and had a great time with 500+ other fiber enthusiasts.  I learned a lot and got very inspired.
