It's December! Are you weaving for the holidays? Are you dressing your loom for the holidays? Share what's on your loom!
I just finished some gamp work from Season 4! I'd love to send you some pics of results, which would include mistake(s) and moments of "aha!". Next will be to put some of that work into an exchange project involving the weaving of a three-ring binder cover. If you could kindly share with me the email address of the school, I'd love to send you the photos of the gamps. Thank you for your patience and good will, Ginette. I look forward to see/read about what other weavers are doing.
You are welcome Johanna and I received your photos! So glad that it all worked out :)

I have really been struggling to use the colors and weave the Doubleweave lessons, so I jumped the fence and got Jennifer Moore's book, which is no Jane Stafford, but here's a start in my understanding. I might put Barbara's draft in Handweaving dot net and try some colors I can live with so I can use Jane's Season 8 lessons.

This looks really fun Kit! I like blues 🙂
The DDW gampkins in lesson 9.4 inspired me to choose 1 threading to make dish towels. The tessellation of the images is fun to weave and fun to see off of the loom.

They look fabulous Lana! I haven't woven them yet but I totally enjoyed learning about them and how they change so much from gampkin to gampkin.
These are excellent Lana. Inspiring.

This month has been difficult already and it's only the 5th. However Jane's message with regards to the 10th Season dropped into my inbox and picked me up no end.
My weaving projects have had a tendency to be slow of late. This time I am in the middle of a long drawn out process of an over ambitious project. It has taken months for me to get the darn thing warped up. Almost there and I am not going to spill the beans until I can prove to myself that I can do it!
But - to get back to the Season 10 preview - it led me to think about a knee rug that I did for a friend in Honeycomb. She wanted something textured and chunky. I modified a honeycomb design and I wanted to refresh my mind as it had been several years ago.
Darned if I could remember what I had done and this sent me into a flurry of trying to find notes, etc to remind me. Alas my record keeping was woeful and I couldn't find any reference at all.
I sat down with the knee rug and worked out the pattern by reading the cloth as Jane suggests (after all I had woven the darn thing, I should be able to read it!). Just when I had finished, I remembered where the inspiration had come from. Typical.
So I am supplying a 'proof of life' photo to show that I am not crazy. The knee throw does exist even though the paperwork came years later!!
