Automn belt and Merry Christmas!
I got inspired this autumn when we went to the swiss mountains. It was October and the colors where just splendid. So when I got home I gathered the colors from the trees I had seen and decided to weave a belt with this combination soon. Well, it’s done. It is not my favourite, but…

Autumn inspiration
I finished off this last belt in record time. Only one week from set-up to completion. I drafted alot of new designs these last months and now I got the chance to try some of them. In addition to the moose and birds, I am quite fond of my pack of dogs, with 3 puppies…

Sneak preview…
I started a new belt, and this time I really love how the colors come together. I am also trying some new designs of animals, real or imaginary. I am happy to present you my elk/moose couple! I am still quite fond of various leaves and how they can be combined with swirles and other…

It is what it is…
I finished a belt today, but I feel a bit disappointed, as it is not as I expected it to be. It is still ok, but the colors didn’t turn out as I wanted and I tried to fit in too many new designs in one piece. The results is cluttered and not as I…

Automn weave…
I have finished my Sulawesi belt with 16 motif tablets that I wrote about a few weeks ago. I am quite happy with the result. The automn colors go well with the trees outside my window and I like feeling of the wool. I even got a chance to try it on during a medieval…

A new 16 tablet weave on the loom.
I have started a new weave with 16 design tablets (+6 border tablets). It feels really easy going to handle 16 tablets after the 32 on my last weave. I also really enjoy the yarn (Holst Garn, 100% wool), which I haven’t tried before. It has a rustic feeling and is quite strong. Above all,…

“Creatures in squares” meet grapewines…
I completed my new Sulawesi belt in 32 motif cards (16 pairs), where I combine motifs from my “Creatures in Squares” series with motifs based on plants (grapewines, fruits, flowers on branches, etc). The red and the green are wool (regular knitting yarn, 100% wool) and the yellow is a mix of wool and silk.…

A new page with some of my designs
I have created a new new page with some of my designs, with turning schemas, for 16, 24 and 32 cards in Sulawesi style. An example below. Please check it out on the main meny (My designs Sulawesi) or here. I would really welcome your comments or requests for designs (turning schemas).

Can you have too many belts?
I dont have the answer, but I started a new weave, despite all the belts in my stash. I am addicted and I need more space for belts and yarns. Maybe a trip to IKEA is required after all. I set up a weave in wool for 32 motif cards (+4 border cards), to try…

A new Sulawesi belt is off the loom.
I have finally finalised the Sulawesi belt in 100% pure silk (24 design tablets) and I am quite happy with the result. It does not show up in the photo, but the red is quite shiny and the belt is really soft. I tried several new motifs/designs on this belt, mostly with flowers or leaves…
