New Tricks

It's always fun to try out new techniques.  A little rug sample got a treatment of Damascus edge plus these cool little triangular knotted bits that taper the warp down in a protected way to be braided.  I tried these both out with the help of our old friend Peter Collingwood.  Open book is The Techniques of Rug Weaving, and on the tablet is his Rug Weaving Techniques: Beyond the Basics.

Fringe-y

Among a bunch of samples I did last month was this fringe-y thing.  It would be cute as a scarf, don't you think?

Upcoming Workshop on Sprang and Weaving

There are still spaces available in the workshop I will be leading at CNCH.  In a 2-1/2 day hands-on class, learn how to incorporate this unique patterning into your weaving.  This retreat-like conference is in the beautiful grounds of Asilomar, on the coast at Monterey Bay in California.  Come join us May 4-7, 2017.
