This time, please permit me to share with you a short video that tells a little something about me as a handweaver. I suspect, if you are a weaver, you enjoy weaving for some of the same reasons I do. The process of turning threads into cloth never ceases to fascinate me! I weave on Glimåkra countermarch looms, with an emphasis on Swedish-style textiles. Even within that boundary, there are endless weaves to explore and techniques to try. I am deeply grateful for the opportunity to sit at a loom and weave these threads together. Thank you to Eddie Fernandez for his kind manner behind the camera and for his masterful videography.
And I can’t tell you enough what a joy it is to walk through this process with friends like you.
May you enjoy the part of the process you are in.
Happy Weaving,
Karen
Lovely video, Karen! I always enjoy your blogposts and, as a very new weaver, am constantly learning from you. Thank you so much for sharing your process.
I appreciate your kind thoughts, Sabine! It makes me very happy to know that you learn things here that are helpful to you.
Happy weaving,

That was lovely:). I do so enjoy your blog! What issue of handwoven were the towels in? The guild has them all to research! Very nice
Hi Meg, And I enjoy having you here!
The towels were in the Nov/Dec 2016 issue of Handwoven. Thank you for asking.
All the best,

Sweet Beth, I feel touched by your kind compliment. I’ve only done what I know to do. I’m blessed to have this opportunity at the loom.
