"Respect the earth, live in harmony with nature, spend time with your family, be good to your neighbor, and value the dedication, skill and care of the craftsman."
DIL did some Black Friday shopping, and there was some Black Friday ecommerce going on, but mostly we had Crafts Day. I made breakfast casseroles, sausage, and biscuits, and we tried out some weaving. This was the idea of #2 son’s gf.
I’m glad she thought of it. We had never tried weaving, and it was fun.
I got a book, Weaving within Reach, which includes projects with no loom, projects with home made looms, and projects with commercial looms. I brought out a couple of bins of yarn and #2 son cut up the cardboard.
Here’s a tweed cowl.
Here’s another, with chenille. These require a cardboard loom. I might make one of these myself.
Here’s a start on a cushion, using pink linen for the fabric and Aran weight wool for the weaving.
