That’s what my weaving life has been like today.
Weave. Unweave. Repeat.
Last evening I wove about 4″ of the watery silk warp with the green weft. Then I remembered that I already have an undulating twill silk scarf with this green weft. Plus the beginning selvedges were nasty. Plus 3 of my trusted commenters liked another weft. So unweave all that.
I started again with the silvery blue weft. Much nicer. Got 4-5″ woven and thought, since it was to have some vague representation of water, I’d try randomly varying the treadling, giving the whole thing some movement like water in a creek. Wove another 3+” and decided I hated that, so unweave.
Then I had to take a lay-down break. Some time yesterday I somehow pinched a nerve in my upper back. I’d taken some ibuprophen a few times, and it just needed to rest and be iced. So I did that.
Still, I got a little over half of the first scarf woven today. I am LOVING it!
Joelle asked for the weaving draft, so here it is for all.
I always love reading your blogs! On another note: will you be selling any of the watery scarves?
Hi, Ruzica! I hope you and your little one are both happy and healthy.
I will be selling both watery scarves. I expect that my next post will show them finished, as well as the snowflake scarves. I’d to get these and other new creations up on my website soon, too, but with a show in just a few weeks, I don’t know if I’ll have time to do that. 😉
Glad to hear you’re feeling better!!
(Love the international flavor you’re attracting!
SUPERBE……. Je ne parle pas ANGLAIS. Je tisse moi aussi.
Pouvez-vous me donner le patron (pattern) Thank you. Joëlle
Thanks, Joelle! I’ll happy send you the pattern via email, and post on my blog.
My back is much better, thanks everyone.
Alma – the treadles on a floor loom, especially those that are back hinged like my Macomber, look much like organ pedals.
Nice to hear from you, Susan.
Lovely!
Peg, the silver blue certainly looks watery and beautiful from here. Hope your back quiets down quickly.
What a gorgeous color!!
From this angle it looks as like organ peddles underneath the weaving. I’m probably feeling delirious, but that’s what it made me think of!
oooo…. me too!!! Sorry to hear about your back though and hope that gets settled down overnight.
