Inspired by Mountain & Stars Sampler (Krokbragd Patterns p. 108)

Woven by Jodi Warner. “This is a long, narrow wall hanging with two colors (blue plus cream). It measures approximately 10" wide x 23" long, plus the top hanger and fringe. I was interested in getting familiar with the "flame" and the opposing zigzag designs that are such classics in Nordic and Scandinavian knitting patterns.”

Inspired by Mountain & Stars Sampler (Krokbragd Patterns p. 108)

Inspired by Mountain & Stars Sampler (Krokbragd Patterns p. 108)

Woven by Jody Warner. “I imagined different top finishing and hanging methods, and settled on a "rod pocket/sleeve". I was hoping to find a vintage flat shuttle, but ended up purchasing a beautiful new one to use as a top "rod". I worked out the appropriate space to leave free from weaving using a poster paper strip spacer, then wove a plain weave backside for the sleeve with weft-only yarn (with end sections eventually deconstructed and ends woven into the back of the Krokbragd work).”
