Loom Juggling

Four floor looms live in our house, as well as the four cats. I’m not counting small portable looms like inkle looms, tapestry looms, pin looms, etc., or the two table looms. Anyone would think that would be plenty of looms for any project. But I only really like weaving on floor looms, and only two of those are portable (Schacht Baby Wolves). I have a deadline of September 1 to weave a length of tartan for my stepdaughter’s wedding, which needs at least a 4S floor loom. A extended hour of that drugshop viagra in italy vehicle driving is also not recommended.

I also need two free looms for the Intermountain Weavers Conference in Durango, CO, in July. I also have other weaving-related tasks and trips–how to juggle the looms so that the right one is free at the right time, with advance time for dressing it (putting the warp threads through the reed and heddles and winding it on)??? Solution? Rent one… Then I don’t have to have the tartan done by the middle of July, and can make it all work. Doesn’t cost much to rent a loom from the Rocky Mountain Weavers Guild, and it will make my life work better. I’m very grateful for the opportunities I have through my association with the RMWG….programs, workshops, and loom rentals!

Honored & Thrilled

The RMWG Web Award “recognizes a Rocky Mountain Weavers Guild member who has interwoven her/his life into the guild.” There have been 19 awards starting in 1994. Nominations for the award are sent to the Executive Board, which votes to choose one each year. The honoree receives a beautiful sterling silver pin handcrafted by a local silversmith in an orginal design related to weaving.

Silver Pin 1

Saturday May 18 I was stunned to receive the Web Award for 2013. This was one of the most meaningful recognitions I have ever received. I am grateful for the recognition of my efforts on behalf of the guild. I treasure the lovely pin, but also the friendship, support and appreciation I’ve received from guild members over the past seven years. I joined the guild in 2006, and have been active in various ways since then, so I guess I actually have interwoven my life into the guild in many ways (Treasurer, Registrar for Colorado Weavers Day 2012, Programs & Workshops Committee, Sale Committee, Workshop Registrar, Webmaster and Communications Chair, plus a couple of study groups). I am indeed honored to be part of such a wonderfully creative group of fiber artists.

As if the Web Award weren’t enough for excitement on Saturday, my pink cotton and gold tencel “Interrupted Twill Diamonds” shawl (see the Handwoven Textiles link, the image toward the bottom) won the “Best Overall” award in the May Fashion Show as well. Anita Osterhaug (of Interweave Press) chose the fashion show awards, a difficult task as there were more than 20 remarkable entries.

Thank you to whomever nominated me, and to the Board for deciding to honor me with the Web Award this year.

Just Off the Loom

On April 15, I mailed my first samples for the “Early Weaving Books & Manuscripts” study group of Complex Weavers. The description of the study group on the CW web site says ” A forum for those who love the challenge of early weaving drafts. Bimonthly newsletter, some with swatches.” It has been run by the illustrious weaver Marjie Thompson for over 20 years. Some early weaving drafts require extensive analysis to interpret; some have already been studied and updated, including many on Handweaving.net. For my samples this year I chose an eight shaft draft from a series of seven monographs published in 1900-1901 by Charles Petzold, handweaving.net draft #22413. The samples for the EWB&M group should be chosen from works published before 1923. For some unknown reason, my warp was bright pink–thoughts of spring amid the snow? Usually I’m not a pink person. I wove the samples with a pale peach rayon, which toned down the pink-ness of it all, but still….

From my notes for EWB&M–My inclination is always to try for balance and symmetry in my woven patterns. This draft’s asymmetrical treadling was a challenge to me not so much for its difficulty but because I kept wanting it to be symmetrical. I tried a lot of alternate symmetrical treadlings, many of which I liked a great deal. In the end, I decided to quit trying so hard and just to weave the samples with the original treadling to see what the original cloth from the published draft would look like. The resulting gently textured cloth would be good for table linens, a dresser scarf, or maybe towels.

I wove the rest of the warp off in a symmetrical treadling, with a pale gold tencel weft (maybe ecru?)!

Weaving and Design

I’m happy to have a new web page to play with!
I’m not weaving today (yet), but I am designing the next cloth to put on my 8S Baby Wolf. I don’t weave for specific projects necessarily–just to see what a textile will look like when I weave it. On the other hand, sometimes I do weave a specific thing, usually for a study group or guild exchange. Lately, I’ve woven a pillow cover, a bread cloth and table runners.
