Let's Have A Fiesta ~

My latest project reminds me of summer.  The colors are bright and cheerful.  These will become kitchen towels and are actually called "Fiesta Towels".  8/2 cotton and lots of it.  This pattern is from Handwoven, Jan/Feb 2006.




This is the first time I have used my new Schacht - end delivery shuttle and it is wonderful!  What a difference it makes when it comes to VERY even selvedges.  Well, better get back at it.  There are 6 towels to do with a different pattern on each towel.

Below are some of the patterns, which actually were very fun to do!  








Dizzy Yet ?

    You're right! Those colors are a fiesta! I think you'll enjoy using them (or they will make super gifts!)

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!

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.
