Back in May I wove some lace ‘checkerboard’ scarves<\/a> in bamboo. Although I called it huck at the time, it’s not really. It’s a Swedish lace. I’m certain that’s neither important nor meaningful to anyone but a weaver.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I liked the way the scarves looked even if the checkerboard pattern only showed up if you caught the light just right. I only had three handwoven silk scarves for my July show, and since I had some lovely 20\/2 undyed spun silk I decided I’d repeat that weaving pattern.<\/p>\n

This time I remembered to snap a few pix while it was on the loom, since the checkerboard pattern shows up well while I’m weaving. Thank goodness, or I’m sure I’d make lots of treadling errors!

Even here, the design isn’t as pronounced as I might like. So I enhanced the next picture to show the lines clearly.

With the scarf wet finished & pressed, I think these silk scarves are elegant, even if the design is somewhat subtle.

Interestingly, although my July show was really wonderful<\/em>, I didn’t sell any of these silk scarves. Nor did I sell my ice green silk lace<\/a>. You just never know what people will buy. Or at least I don’t.<\/p>\n

I’m sure not complaining — I sold 6 shawls and 47 scarves at that show!!!! So now I’m weaving like mad again. Fortunately, I left myself almost seven weeks between the July & August shows, so I’m not making myself crazy. <\/p>\n

For you weavers, here’s the draft of the checkerboard lace if you’re interested.
