Don’t you just love how weaves look hanging from copper?! The shiny metal really compliments the softness of a weave. I knew right away that I wanted to hang my peachy-pink weave along weave from copper. The peach and copper colors look so nice together. Also the visual weight of the copper next to the airy weave is a great design compliment. Continue Reading
I’m only posting once this week to take some time with my family and enjoy the summer! I’ll be returning next week with some fun posts!
If you’re looking for some fun things to do, I’m sharing some cute DIYs that I’ve found and really want to try making: Continue Reading
This is it, our very last weave along post (see all weave along posts here). I’ll show you how to take your weave off the loom and then how to finish our weave with a fringe knot. Continue Reading
I’ve received some questions on how to best wrap these mini stick shuttles that are in the shop. So in this post I’m going to share my preferred method. Continue Reading
We’re almost ready to take our weave off the loom, but before we do that we’re going to clean up and finish our end threads. I know, this might be the worst part of weaving, but it will look really nice when we’re done! Find all the Weave Along Steps here. Continue Reading
I’m going to start this post out with some questions, because I would love to have an open discussion on this topic. How do you push yourself creatively when weaving? Is there a new style you’re trying out or maybe you’re trying to master just one style? For me I’ve found that I like to try a lot of different things and learn from each, which also means I don’t have a cohesive style. Continue Reading
In today’s weave along (previous weave along posts here), we are not so much weaving as tying our weft thread along the warp strings. This makes a really nice lacy pattern that I arched to give it more interest. After creating the arched row of knots, I added two more rows of knots that filled in the side gaps and staggered the knots so that the warp threads were separated differently between each row. Continue Reading
It’s funny, I just was talking about how to have straighter sides in your weaves, and then I wove for our weave along and noticed that the rows I put in are really pulling the weave’s sides in. Like I said it takes some attention to make sure your sides are straight when weaving, even when you’ve been weaving for a while. And when I was making the weave along post, I was more focused on setting up and getting a good picture of each step that I didn’t pay proper attention to my weave sides. Continue Reading
I love a good draft pattern in a weave. The basic technique is very simple, but once all the rows are next to each other it’s really rewarding to see the pattern pop out. Continue Reading
Recently I received a really great question about hanging a weave that has an odd number of warp threads. There are a few different ways to go about solving this issue that I would like to cover for anyone else with this problem. Continue Reading
