The Weather Outside…
…is frightful… Well, it’s not actually terrible – yet – but it’s snowing. And it’s Christmas/solstice. And there’s a Snowflake Weave-a-long on Ravelry so it sort of seemed appropriate that I use some of my and Lynn’s red cotton and make some table runners using the Swedish Snowflake design. As luck would have it, my…

MIMO Part III
I did the proto-type for the silk scarves on my four shaft Leclerc Fanny. It’s a fairly simple undulating twill that I added a short extended run to for a number of reasons, but the short version is that it worked with my numbers. 🙂 It looked like this: For one warp of two…

Procrastination Rules Today
So instead of threading this warp, I’m blogging about how I would be doing it, if I were actually doing it… The threading repeat is a fairly simple one – an advancing twill that flips in the centre. Normally I could do this without a visual aid, but today I’m really dragging and procrastination…

Dealing With Distraction part II
In my last post yesterday I mentioned that my concentration is impaired right now with lots of distractions. Thought I would share how I deal with threading a complex pattern. This is the draft for the last warp on the AVL. My eyes – not being 20-ish any longer – have problems seeing a tiny…

Threading For Blue Warp
Not exactly a snowflake, but this threading fits precisely into the number of threads I wound so how could I not use it? This is how it looks woven as drawn in. No doubt I’ll play with the treadling, although I think I’ll use this one with the singles linen. It should be very pretty.…

Red Warp Pattern
Managed to find some time late last night to work out a threading etc., for the red warp, fine tuned it and started threading this morning. Got it finished before I left for the demo and just now finished sleying the reed. I hope to start weaving yet tonight, but I’ll see how tired I…
