More Musings
Warp for Katie – 2/8 cotton warp with cotton/linen slub weft woven in broken twill. My energy levels have been low the past few days and I’ve given myself permission to take it ‘easy’. :} However, Karena got the tea towel warp for Katie dressed yesterday, so rather than tackle the AVL I decided to…

Next Fan
Once again the photo looked fine in my photo software but now looks blurry – at least you can get an idea of what it looks like. :} It’s not perfect – not even close – but there are no ‘design elements’ in it that I’m aware of and frankly I’m pretty pleased with it.…

Towels for Sharon
Perhaps it was my cold, perhaps the many days of hot (for us) weather or the poor night’s sleep, but this afternoon I lay down for a few minutes and got up an hour later. :} However I did manage to beam the warp tonight for Sharon to weave on when she arrives. It took…

Sweethearts Again
I know this photo looks strange – it’s because I’m weaving the hearts ‘up-side-down’ and wanted to show them to you right way up. 🙂 This is a picture of the cloth as it is rolling onto the cloth storage roller and the photo is upside down, too. The towel has 5 hearts in the…

Tea Towels for Tien
So here is the first warp for Tien to weave on when she arrives. Once in a while I do a time study to see how long a particular task takes me. I do this for many reasons – pricing – partly – so I know how much money I should be charging for my…

Forging Ahead
While I haven’t made it to the press as often as I’d hoped, today saw another 20 towels wet finished and 4 finished towels given their final press – ready to be tagged and sold. This one is probably my current fav. The colours are brighter than all those pale pastel blues I wove so…

Special Order
From time to time I take special orders. This is one. The view is from the back so you can’t see the colours very clearly, but the cloth hasn’t come round far enough for me to get a good view of the front, yet. This is a very special order because it is long distance.…

More Stash? Moi?
Falling into the category of ‘what was she thinking?’ – this photo shows in the foreground about 70 pounds of yarn that arrived this morning, along with a few of the boxes of yarn returning from the Fibres West show that still need to be unpacked. Somewhere needs to be found for it all to…

Black Screen of (Near) Death
So I was just feeling really good about finishing off the fine linen – that is all that’s left – a full bobbin, a bit on a second bobbin, and hardly anything on the spool – and editing the treadling for the next towel when the monitor went BLACK! GAH! So I turned the monitor…

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…
