The 12 card weave
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…

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…

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…

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…

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…

The forest green weave
Here is a sneak preview of the forest green belt that I am working on now. I took the opportunity to try some new variations of my leaf designs.

The Fire and water belt.
The belt I talked about in my last blog post is finally finished. I am happy with how the gradient turned out and I had quite some comments on the “fire” aspect. I like how the fire is flanked by “water” from the blue border. I have also been drawing quite a few alternative designs…

A new weave – and new designs
I started this weave last week and I do like the colors. A sneak preview below… I will add more photos as I progress.
