Still worth a look: Tapestry

I spool knitted a […]
In my previous posting, I got started with reclaiming a woven scrap to embellish a Tshirt.

It made me think about a scrap of weaving that’s been kicking around the studio for awhile. I cut it off a set of placemats that I wove several years ago, and couldn’t bring myself to throw it away. I thought…. […]
Last summer, my dear friend, Terri went to Japan to participate in some wonderful Saori weaving events.
She brought back this lovely bag:
The butterfly outline was satin stitched with the weaving behind the cotton. Then the black cotton was carefully cut away to reveal the weaving.

Earlier in May, I read on my dear friend, Terri’s blog about a virtual scarf project.
I was intrigued, and have been thinking about it since.
I am deep into meeting deadlines (VERY tight ones!) on my new book. I debated about taking time off from the book to weave a scarf for the […]
For the love of knitting, crochet, spoolknitting, spinning and weaving!
