The 4 colour pebble weave is off the loom
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…

Continuing the pebble weave
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.

Trying something new…and loving it!
I have been researching the Andean pebble weaving style for a while (check the work by M. van Epen). Even though I wasn’t sure I got it, I set up a test weave (with 4 colors), and to add to complications, I decided to draw some designs before I started weaving!! But I was amazed!…

Another Sulawesi – is it time for a change?
I made another belt in Sulawesi style, but I need to experiment with some other weaving styles a bit. It is not the same as before, I don’t have a lot of new ideas for new designs, even it I honestly haven’t woven all I have drawn. I have 100s of designs in various folders,…

Some keltic knots and dragons.
I have to admit that the weaving with 6-hole cards required a lot of concentration, so after weaving a bit, I decided to change to regular 4 hole cards, cutting out 2 threads. The results is below. The 4 hole is nothing spectacular, but more relaxing to weave. I took the opportunity to weave some…

Midnight Blue weaving
The silver-blue belt in silk and wool is finished. I really love the feel and look of it. The wool is matte and the silk shiny, which means that the two quite similar shades of dark blue appear quite different and contrasting. Here are some pictures:

Lady Midnight – Silk and wool
I really enjoy working on this belt in wool and silk. The silver and blue are pure silk and the dark blue (accompanying thread) is 100% wool. I was worried that they would stretch differently, but it works out great. So a sneak preview! More to come later…

2 different designs using one warp.
I wanted to weave with some lovely pinkish-mauve yarns for a while, so I set up a regular 16 cards weave with Oseberg edging using these these colours (even though I don’t really use much pink, but the colours spoke to me). But when I started weaving, I feel that it turned out a bit…

The autumn belt is finally off the loom
It took some time to complete, but now it is done. I like it, but not my favourite. Maybe it is a bit to complicated with all the colour changes going on. It is nearly hypnotising when you look at it. Well, here it is: The Beginning….and the end!

Start of the “Autumn belt”.
Since I been working on my “Summer” and “Spring” belts, I felt the urge to do an Autumn belt, and I have at least started. I used 11 different shades of yellow, orange, brown and green. Sneak preview below…
