Ending and Beginning

I am about ready to finish the Weaver Rose overshot project. I have six yards woven and will throw for a few more inches and then cut off. A very pleasant project. This was on the Macomber.

Now onto the Baby Wolf and the tied weave that will be my submission to the Complex Weavers Tied Weave Study Group.

Fixing Loose Thread

I am happy to note that I only have one thread hanging over the back beam - so far - that I have had to fix. And if you look real hard you will see I am running out of warp. There was about 15 inches woven today. Marching On!!

Coffee and the Journal

I just wanted a cup of coffee to read my Complex Weavers Journal with......... but some days a thought jumps in the brain and you just roll with it. I didn't get to drink the coffee, but did spend several hours reading. Excellent issue- by the way.

It was fun, but back to my fiber.

Rhythm and Beat

I continue to keep the beat! Overshot is such as pleasant peaceful weave structure. The rhythm is easy to get into.

More Progress on Weaver Rose

I have now completed five yards of this Weaver Rose threading. It looks like I might be able to get another yard done before I run out of warp. I had thought I might be able to make a couple of baby blankets or lap robes, but maybe I can get a small twin blanket out of it. Only time will tell.

I like the looks of the finished cloth rolling around the beam. It looks neat and tidy. Hope that hold true once I cut it off and wash it.

Just a recap: I have been working with some drafts from the book: The Weaving Roses of Rhode Island. This is one of his threadings, but my own treadling. If you get a chance to see this book, I hope you find it as interesting as I do.

Working On MidWest Weavers Item

A side street in the world of weaving. It might be a one way alley or a four lane highway. Lots of thinking will be needed!!

Yards of Overshot

 What do these two pictures have in common?

They are showing that I have woven four yards of this Weaver Rose overshot threading. (I know it's a stretch- but pretend each foot above  represents a yard each)
