More bags and wired looking weaving.
Today I finished off 2 things: 1) a small backpack made from scrap fabric and an old tablet woven belt (one of my first). I quite like it!! 2) then I tried to save my 54 cards weaving project by cutting out the brown tread (making it a 3 hole weave). But it still looks…

Some more sewing, and some weaving experiments.
I made this Viking style bag. It the outside is blue wool and the inside red/purple linen. I used an old belt I have woven for the strap and a piece for decoration. I used some wood from my garden for the bag handles. I like how it turned out. And then I have experimented…

Some more new designs.
I finally finished this piece. I was happy to try a lot of new designs, but I am not happy with the result. It is too crowded, I have a hard time to leave enough space between designs. I will try to do better next time. Anyway, some pictures below.

Some new “creatures in squares” designs for 24 cards
I have been drawing on some variations of creatures in squares for 24 cards (instead of 32). I am now test weaving, and I quite like how it turns out. It is not finished, but a sneak preview: Turning schemas will be added to the designs section soon. I also did some sewing using again…

A mistake, which turned out surprisingly nice.
I had an idea for this belt, but I missed something and it turned out different than I expected. But in the end I think I like the result more than if I had succeeded. If you put it in the sun, it really glows. I have developed several variations on diagonal patterns, both for…

Weaving with friends
I met up with some friends this weekend to do some weaving. It was nice, but I realised that I need to add more instructions to my page. I thought I had shared how to thread the loom for Sulawesi, but we encountered several problems. The threading seemed correct, but in some cases the motif…

Trying out some new designs with only 12 motif cards.
As you may know, I mainly draw my designs for 16, 24 or 32 cards. However, I have been tempted to weave something smaller, with simpler motifs. I also like the classical designs found in Hallstatt, and I wanted to do something similar. So, I drafted some new designs for 12 motif cards (+4 border…

Silk, silk, silk
I just finished a new belt, woven in Sulawesi (as usual), but in 100% silk. The photos doesn’t give justice to the subtile shiny surface and the very soft feeling, but the feel of it is nice. I am a big fan of wool, but occasionally, silk is great too. I have used 32 motif…

More weaving, but not by me…(again).
I got a very nice mail from Nele a few days ago, who has done some weaving with my designs. I really like her choise of colors, especially the green and purple belt. It is so nice! I feel quite inspired, so I decided to upload some more designs on my page. Please feel free…
