Next Towel Design
One of the challenges in photographing textiles is getting them in focus. This looked fine on the camera, but I suspect it’s blurry. OTOH, the design is blurred anyway, so it’s really hard to tell. :} This is the same threading/treadling as the first design, but I’ve changed the tie up from twill blocks to…

Happy Colours
Started beaming the warp last night after dinner, finishing it up this morning. Here it is nearly half threaded. The warp is a mixture of various fine cottons, mostly 2/18, some 2/20, some even finer. It’s 25 yards long, and should (she says, hopefully!) finally finish off the last of the extremely fine linen as…

Rounding the Corner
I think I’m just about at the 3/4 mark on this warp and feel like I’m on the home stretch. 🙂 My goal is to finish the warp by Friday, although I’ve got some fun activities scheduled for later in the week, so it might not get done before the weekend. There are still two…

The Never Ending Linen
I’ve reached the 1/4 mark on this warp and the fine linen just keeps on going, and going, and going………… This is not going to be the final warp. I’m going to have to do at least one more longish warp to use it up. 🙁 The problem is I’ve used up so much of…

Back to the Loom
Spent the morning winding bobbins for the lace show and share tomorrow but needed a break from that so went down to the loom and wove off a towel. Unfortunately the cold weather has brought lowered relative humidity, and the linen is being a spoiled brat. 🙁 It’s sloughing off the bobbin and wrapping around…

Stash Reducing
Finished the last of the doubled fine cotton warp tonight. I could have woven on this warp for a long time, partly because I still have so much more stash that would have been perfect as weft on it, partly because it was just so dern purty. :^) But all good things come to an…

Of Resolutions and Gratitude
Here are a couple of the scarves Teresa dyed after I wove them in white and black silk. As 2008 slowly ticks away, I can’t help contrast this year’s end with last year’s end. And think about all that has changed, and all that hasn’t. For the last 3 or 4 years, my new year’s…
