細いタペストリを、緯糸麻で織っています。

このあと帯を織って、次にこの間の絣を。

I'm now weaving a narrow tapestry with ramie yarn as welts. After finishing this one, I'll weave an obi, then the kasuri kimono that I prepared warps during summer season.

Band I finished recently— it reminds me of passion fruit. It’s in the Etsy shop if anyone is interested!

I used the Baltic pick up method for this one and referenced a pattern in The Weaver’s Pattern Dictionary by A. Hale

I don't know who needs to hear this, but

YOU DO NOT NEED TO START A NEW HOBBY!

STEP AWAY FROM THE TEXTILES!

YOU DON'T NEED MORE YARN!

THAT FABRIC IS NOT CALLING TO YOU! LEAVE IT ALONE!

Obviously the key reason to get into weaving is the near limitless pride flag potential.

This is 8 metres of trans warp threaded for 5 different twills. Winding the warp went SO MUCH BETTER than my first project a couple weeks ago and I am especially proud of how smoothly my warp chains unravelled.

With the trans yarns I also ordered sample cards for a couple different yarn companies so that I can compose some rainbow flag variants.

Hype hype hypeeeee

not to sound corny but the textile arts make me feel connected to the world around me. it's so intentional and deliberate and when i sit and do it, i think a lot about how many other women that came before me used to do it, how many hands have used the same supplies i am using, and how many other people might be doing the same thing as me all across the world right now

Learning how to weave! After a brief attempt at card weaving, I discovered pick-up weaving and immediately switched over to weaving with a heddle. And since I need to make everything as complicated as possible, I'm working on creating my own patterns as I learn.

Still figuring out how to maintain an even tension when I move my set up around. Ultimately, I'll get a loom and that should solve most of my issues. They're a tad wonky, but I'm pleased with my patterns and excited to come up with more! :))

K so not to be dramatic or anything, but there's a free vintage French pattern book available on antiquepatternlibrary so if you like to crochet/weave/make pixel art/tie epic friendship bracelets don't walk- RUN.

It has scenes from aesop's fables! Cherubs doing things! Beheadings! Greek muses! Little farm people! Intricate floral pattern! Goth stained-glass window like patterns! Fun little corner pieces! Eeeeeeeeeeeeee

As a new weaver i find that warp speed is in fact not very fast
