Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
All in Weaving
In my last post, I talked about achieving the milestone of selling ten thousand books. Reflecting on this, I reviewed the many comments and questions I have received since I first published in 2019. Many of the questions I received were about weaving krokbragd on a rigid heddle. So, today’s post will focus on that topic.
Today marks the end of my five-part series on finger-manipulated weaving techniques.
Today, I will explain how I combined different techniques to create a wall hanging.
This post is the fourth in the series, looking at finger-manipulated weaving techniques. Today is the decorative technique of Danish Medallions.
This post is the third installment in a series looking at finger-manipulated weaving techniques. The first post described the general attributes of these weaves and the methods of leno and Mexican lace. The following post looked at Spanish Lace. Today is the lovely Brooks Bouquet.
This post is the second offering for a series looking at finger-manipulated weaving techniques. The first post described the general attributes of these weaves and the methods of leno and Mexican lace. Today's post looks at Spanish Lace.
This post is the first offering for a series I've planned to look at finger-manipulated weaving techniques. Today's post describes the general attributes of these weaves. Then we'll explore two weaves: leno and its cousin, Mexican lace.
I have something fun to share today, a guest post from a fellow weaver, Mary Trimmer.
She presented an interesting idea to weave a krokbragd rug with fabric strips.
It’s been a while since I’ve done a ‘Let’s Weave . . .’ post where I take a look at a particular weave structure. Today’s exploration is basketweave.
Today’s post is about a project I’ve had on my mind for probably five or six years. The time was right to do it finally. The vest is inspired by a design by Nancy McRay and published in Handwoven magazine's September/October 2009 issue. The original project, woven on a rigid heddle loom, created five sections on two different narrow warps joined to form the vest. I made several alterations to the original design to make it my own.
This summer, I started a Natural Dye series. The initial July 6 post, Planning and Fiber Preparation, was followed by five posts detailing my five days of actual dyeing. It ended with the Finale post on August 2. In September, I gave you a sneak peek of the dyed cotton on the Loom. Today’s post brings you to the completion of the Natural Dye Project.
My online course, Weaving Krokbragd, has launched at the School of Sweet Georgia!
The course consists of over two hours of video instruction, a complete pattern for the course project, transcripts of all the videos, and a 20-page workbook filled with krokbragd weaving information and resources.
I’ve launched a photo gallery here on the Flora & Fiber website for posting images of krokbragd weaving. I hope that this will be a location where you can find enjoyment and inspiration.
The blog has been a little silent for several months, but with good reason. I’ve been designing, writing, formatting, editing, and proofing my new book Krokbragd Patterns. It’s finished! My author copy arrives on April 1 (no fooling), and if all looks good, I’ll hit the publish button for April 7!
I’ll start this post with a little translation of the title lest you think some of the letters on my keyboard may be sticking.
