I’m back at the loom. Partly because of a project one of the
Tatting Tuesday Study Group participants is working on. She used her loom to
weave up a hanky. Very nice work! Now she’s tatting an edging to go with it.
Perhaps she’ll let me snap a picture someday.
I love Doubleweave and have been intrigued with the process
of using a chart, like cross stitch or needlepoint use, to weave up a design. I
have a chart for a small cross stitch of an organ with BACH on it. I’ve always
wanted to weave up a sample.
You remember the flag I’m working on? Well, I’ll be
finishing it to look like a flag from the era our house was built. Another
story. Anyway. I got the idea to use a ring & chain pattern similar to the
flag to represent the pipes. Then I thought, if I weave the chart Doubleweave,
it’ll be like a black and white photo. Then I could add the tatting on top to
give it some texture. Like the edging to the hanky.
So, I’m back to the loom……
