Here I have a sample of the tie-up I told you about yesterday.
3-4, 5-6, 7-8 pattern treadles.
Weaving the different shafts together like this:
1 + 3-4......purple
1 + 5-6......pink
1+ 7-8.......green
2 + 3-4......purple
2 + 5-6......pink
2 + 7-8......green
This is the first color combination as you see at the bottom of this photo. I then switch the color order, I do not switch the treadling order. Depending on which color I throw first color determines what color that block is. It looks like a lots is going one, but it's really just two blocks even thought I have used six pattern shafts.
You can see, a lot of color blending is going on too. At certain angles the green+purple looks gray while the pink+green looks orange. Interesting!
This really looks wonderful! May I ask: What are you doing with all of your samples? You keep it with notes like a catalogue for later projects?

Yes, I will keep a sample with my notes together. I keep notebooks so if I want to do a scarf or bookmarks, I might go through the notebook for ideas. And then have all info without having to start from the beginning.
ReplyDeleteI am also working on my Complex Weavers Tied Weaves study group submission, and when I get something I really like, I will make samples for them. And usually a scarf or towel or some other thing with what I have learned for me.
And then I also make things out of my samples too. I have some (secret) things I have made out of some samples as party favors. I will show them later this month.
Thank you for your answer! I really wish there was a weaving study group where I live... :(
ReplyDeleteI will watch your blog for your party-favor-reveal!
