Finally Started ~

Finally, the towels are started.  This will keep me occupied for the next few nights. There should be enough here for 6, plus a sample. Each towel will be a different color.

    This color is Camel from Webs, 8/2 with a 10/2 Natural for the warp. At first I wanted to keep them in the earth tones, but may stray to other colors. Glad you like them :-)

    The pattern is from Marguerite Davison's book, called a Rambler Rose (a twill combination) without tabby. Can't wait to see them done either.

    Hi Hilary,

    The book is "A Handweaver's Pattern Book" by Marguerite Davison, page 37, Rambler Rose, pattern option II (2). Hope this helps....

Four legged friends ~

Image
Last fall on my way to work, this handsome guy took his time walking across the road.  He was beautiful and since he lives here is very used to making himself at home. My small farm is just enough to keep be busy all the time.  The nice thing is that I have company with me all the time if outside working on things.   The Alpacas are settled in well.  Yahtzee (llama) the patriarch of the farm has accepted them into his life.  At 20 years old, that can be a great accomplishment. This winter has been brutal across the United States and even colder here than normal.  We have extreme summers and winters here in The Dalles, Oregon, but this year really cold and lots of snow. I  Love the snow and so do the animals. Jazz Spyder Watching the deer across the field. Jazz  Rocky & Sydney - "The Boys" Yahtzee Lucy the Lamb - coming soon

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.
