My first weaving off the loom, the ends sewn in neatly and a rough fringing fashioned... its a kind of sampler, using several different colours and 6 different simple weaving patterns used fairly randomly - in fact so randomly I'm not sure which is which - a lesson learned in future I need to write everything down so I can record which are the bits I like best so I can do them again!!!
All in all I am quite thrilled about how this has turned out, the edges leave a bit to be desired but neatness will come with practice... I spent most of the lesson tis week preparing a warp for my next project. this is a completely new experience for me and we started by working out the size of the potentially finished piece of cloth and then having picked some vibrant blue and green yarn I wound a two metre warp onto a wooden frame..
Of course I was so excited I forgot to photograph the actual process and now have a tidy hank of yarn ready to go on the loom next week. I'll haveto wave like crazy onceits on as I only have a few weeks left of the course and I intend to weave a cushion cover size piece of fabric... watch this space!
