Seasonal Weaving

Karen

The last few months have been a season for me to put my focus on writing a book about prayer. This has been a season of less weaving than usual. Still, I find a way to get to the looms–a little here, a little there. It adds up. The nice thing about handweaving is that you have something to show for your efforts. Every little weft thread counts. Every day is a gift from the Lord, and every season is an opportunity to acknowledge Him. Thank you, Lord, for every season!

Here’s what I’ve been up to in this weaving season:

Eight different weft colors for this goose-eye twill. 7/2 Brage Wool.
Cloth beam filling up.
Standing back and enjoying the colors.
Roadrunner on the drawloom. Cottolin and linen. Six ground shafts.
Beginning the top half of the roadrunner pattern. Chart hangs for handy reference as I move up the chart, row by row.
Roadrunner complete. Next chart to design is the Texas Longhorn. And three more critters after that.
Curtain fabric, 24/2 cotton M’s and O’s.
Cloth beam filling up.
Take a step back and enjoy the process.

Happy Weaving, Karen
