I found out that I had 84 comments pending! And 100% of them were spam. Disappointing, but that’s the way it goes. Trashed them all.
I was working on some weaving this past few weeks. I made a 3 1/2 yard piece for a commission from a lovely lady in Thornwald. It’s a simple piece using the Snartemo II pattern but added extra cards to make it wider.
I found another pattern I wanted to try (above) an 11th century Latvian piece. It didn’t have any directions on how to thread or weave it other than it’s a skip hole design, so I guessed. Unfortunately I am doing it wrong.
It’s still lovely and I’ll keep weaving, and post the directions for it below, but I hope that I can find the directions to making the band that I wanted. Apparently it’s a “pebble” weave and while I can find lots of examples of what it’s supposed to look like, I can’t seem to find any directions on how to actually DO it. So I ordered a book that should arrive in a couple days.
18 cards. R = red; Y = yellow; O = empty hole
Start with AB on the top.
Turn 7 quarter-turns forward, then 7 quarter-turns away (or vice versa…)
Sorry it’s blurry. I don’t know how to fix this and I’m too grouchy and tired to figure it out.
Nice to see you post again. So, who is hosting your blog now? WordPress?
Yes, WordPress with the assistance of my brother. He’s got some IT skills that I lack and he’s able to troubleshoot things when I lose my way. 🙂 About to post some more things that I’ve made. Thanks for checking in, and I’ll look into your blog to find out what you’re up to! I’d hate to see you leave that gorgeous house. Hugs!
