Finished S2T Scarf!

I have cut the warp! Now to tied the fringe.



This shows the "summer and winter-ness" of the two sides.

We Be Done

At the 29 inch mark. The tension is starting to rev up.

At the 37 inch mark. You can hear a pin drop from across the room.

Ta Da! We be done!!!!

S2T almost done

Do you see? Do you see? Yes, I am nearing the knots on the back!!!  I don't usually take this long to finish a project. So far, I don't think there are any errors. But will know for sure after I weave the next few inches so I can get if off the loom and see.

This is my single two-tie woven on opposites without tabby Pink/Pink scarf.

Single Two-Tie Woven On Opposites Without Tabby

Yes, the weaving has resumed.

 

One thing I did do with this warp that I don't usually do is.......... I have two threads in the last dent and the last heddle. Very seldom do I put two threads in the same heddle, but with this thread being so fine I thought it might help with breakage.

 

And - cross your fingers - I have not had a broken edge thread. I did have some when doing the sampling on this THREADING but not on this 12/2 rayon WARP. (I think that is what it is - label gone).

Back to Single Two-Tie woven on opposites without tabby

Now that I have DD's birthday yoga socks in the mail, it's time to get back to some single two-tie woven on opposites without tabby.

 

 

 

Tied Weave Progress

I have gotten to the 18 inch mark... It is not that I don't have time to weave, I just really need to get my DD's present done! Hopefully soon I will be mailing her some Yoga Socks.

I am weaving a single two-tie woven on opposites without tabby scarf in two shades of pink while trying to knit yoga socks at the same time.

There, I said it three times!

A Little Weaving

Not much progress on the scarf. I am trying to get those Yoga Socks done. But I did do a few repeats to reach the 11 inch mark.

Taquete

I continue to weave on my summer and winter on opposites without tabby scarf.

 

According to the book Weft-Faced Pattern Weaves Tabby to Taquete by Nancy A. Hoskins "taquete, a weft-faced compound weave that is also knows as - weft-faced summer and winter weave, weft-faced polychrome summer and winter (without tabby), and weft faced two-tie unit weave." I have a copyright book of 1992, but I believe the book has been re-printed. 

Errors Fixed, Scarf continues

OK, now I am back on track. I am using a mirror to check the back side as I weave. But I will keep my eye on that Polar Vortex that everyone is talking about.

Now I don't want to cause any scarey thoughts, but you need to know that Summer and Winter on opposites without tabby is also called TAQUETE.  Now you know!

Scarf started

Weaving has begun on the summer and winter on opposites without tabby scarf. I kept looking for errors, but it is hard to see them! I am blaming these floats on the Polar Vortex that is dipping down into Missouri and making me cold! And since I didn't have enough of the two blues I was wanting to use, I have gone to two pinks. It should look OK with my gray coat.



See the floats?



This is the side I see when I am weaving. But I don't see the error until it rolls around the breast beam.
A treadle dropped shaft 7 to cause this!!!

Working on Projects - Tied Weave (summer and winter) Scarf

The fringe is twisted, the scarf ironed. Boy oh boy, this sure does have the nice drape I was going for. My edges could have been a bit better, but all in all I think it's OK.

 

I have used 10/2 Bamboo from yarn.com (Webs) for the warp and pattern weft and 140/2 silk for the tabby from Lunatic Fringe. Both have been in my stash for a while.

 

This would be a lot better if I didn't take it's picture on a yellow tile floor! OH, Well... it's just for fun, anyway!!

Through the Reed

I have my tied weave scarf through the reed. Next I will need to count my heddles and then thread them. I always thread front to back. I know how to thread back to front, but my way works for me!

Since I have allowed for the two edges to have plain weave, I will not need a floating selvedge. Had I carried the summer and winter blocks to the edges, I would have.

Still thinking about what I will use for the tabby......
