Change of Pace ~

One more view, just for fun !



Adding shade cloth over the top will keep things cool.



Now that it is stained and sealed....ready for some mornings with my coffee.



Weekend project - not weaving for once !









Season for the next couple of weeks, then can stain and seal.

The Wisteria will have a new home to climb !!

    It's beautiful! I want one!!! BTW, your towels are fabulous. Can you share the draft? They remind me of the Friendship Towels out of one of the Interweave Press collections (kitchen towels most likely).
    Finally, some sunshine in Oregon. :)

    Hi Teresa,
    The towels are from Handwoven. I just used different colors than traditional blue.

Shadow Weave - new structure for me

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.
