    I haven’t been weaving much lately, but I still draw new designs, which means I have too many new designs and not enough time to weave them. Well, I did try a few on this belt, but I am considering to maybe just publish some of them and let anyone who wishes to try, to…

    I haven’t been weaving much lately, partly because I have a new hobby (making jewellery) and partly because I haven’t been inspired to weave (and partly since I was too tired going through chemo). But now I have the energy and the urge is back again. Also since I have seen some of my designs…

    I have planned for a while to weave this band, in a reverse symmetric way, to put in front of my new caftan (with a rabbit skin collar). See below for belt and caftan.

    As you may have noticed I started making jewellery, which means less time for my weaving. But I have one piece on the loom which I am quite happy with: Then, my jewellery work:

    I have woven this narrow (about 1.5cm) band in silk to use as decoration for a viking dress. The first part of this weave is inspired by the Icelandic find below. My viking dress will look like something like this: If you are interested in the turning patterns, some can be found here (12 cards…

    This belt is to be used as decoration on a viking dress that I (hopefully) will sew. So I have been repeating several leaf motifs and also a “flower” motif. I couldn’t help myself and added a few animals as well. I quite like the colour of the 2 subtle sage greens together.

    Somebody asked in a group on FB if someone had the pattern to a band available on Pinterest. It was clearly Sulawesi, so I offered to draw it. I havent woven it yet though, but I thought I can share if someone is interested. It is a motif for 32 motif cards (with approx 2+2…

    I finally finished this beast. It was much longer to weave compared to Sulawesi, also in part since I drew new designs all the time. Some photos below, and I will update the pebble weave page with the new designs. Please go ahead and use them if you’d like. The pebble weave is actually double…

    I have had quite some other things happening (I finished a 3 year long education and right after I found out I have cancer, so quite a ride…). I have not had much time to weave (or to write), but I will upload a few more photos and patterns of 4 colour pebble weave.

    I have been working on a type of 4 colour pebble weave and I would like to share how to weave with the motifs I have drawn for this purpose. It can look like this. How to thread: All cards should be threaded the same way (Z or S, it doesn’t matter). You need to…
