If I hat 8 arms

I could do this

Colors, colors and colors

I think I've been talking about it before.
All about colors.
Here we go again.

Colors and dramatic

Probably I wasn't the only one, here in Denmark, who watched the sunset view a couple of days ago .


The sky is just stunning.

Well, How is that related too weaving?
A lot.
Inspiration.

Yesterday, I cut off my guest towels.



Today I have to cut of cord ends, before zigzag between the towels, bend and hemming.

Here are the leftover from the first operation.

From Wraps to Weave

It wasn't difficult too choose.

The battle was between the red and the red-brown.

And the winner is:

Stripes, wrap samples and the Golden ratio

I'm doing some guest towels.

I want to add a stripe of plain weave.
How should this stripe be.
Where should it be.

Then the math-geek replies: the Golden Ratio.

The golden ratio has fascinated Western intellectuals of diverse interests for at least 2,400 years. Wikipedia.

As you can see above, I had to Google and I found a formula.

The calculation gave me a stripe 5 cm high, 8 cm from top/bottom.

I took my yarn and cardboard and vent to my Yarn-pusher. She has knitting party in the garden during the summer  It was rather cozy, sitting fiddle with the wrap samples and talking and meeting new people.

Then it's time to choose.

Impressions from an exhibition

Yesterday I visit  a weaverly exhibition i Viborg, Denmark.
9 great projects from 9 brave women, who jump into the deep water and make it through the last course. Now they are graduates weavers.

Here are some pictures.

Yes, I'm still weaving

I've been lazy for a while, when we speek of blogging.

I'm in progess. My crepe project.

Worsted yarn as warp and Noro multicolor as weft.

Width in the reed: 120 cm (c 47 inch)

Only one for help when beaming.

Ask my husband for help, I need a "little helper" in danish "pådragningsknægt".

PVC pipe, a plank and some rope and the work is done.

I made 3 warp, 40 cm each

That's what (hand)weights is intended for

The work is done

The advantage of a "a little helper" is quite clear that the weaver can beam at their own pace.  

The idyll at the family is intact.

Towels again and again

Usually I say, that lives is too short for homemade towels, anyway one is allowed to make a new (and better) decision.

My sister has ordered these towels. ( It's, in fact, my first order). It has been very funny making different designs. The colors were given by my sister. She decided on a design I had made before in another colorcombination.

I used Spot Bronson

Every handwoven towel need a special loop
