This coming month = a very steep hill

I've so much to do, so this is just a quick progress post!

Some pintucks and subtle colour changes

Not the earliest morning...

I awarded myself an accidental lie-in. I just couldn't stay awake at 7am.
I'm waiting for the bathroom to free up, so I thought I'd post the update on my weaving so far...

First warp:




my entire set of pintucked samples!


I crammed and spaced the warp and painted it...the colours are beautiful!






the denser and lighter areas of warp give really interesting textures and varying depths and intensity of colour, I'm so pleased that I painted it!


I've yet to photograph this one in it's finished state!



Now for this weeks warp! I've only completed one sample, but I've been learning techniques, which I shall explain later, or tomorrow, as I've left all the photocopies under the loom! I think theyre called Danish Medallions though? (a quick google says I'm right!)

Up-hill struggle

I feel like I have so much work to do, and time is just slipping away before I can do anything.
I'm falling asleep over my laptop, but feel compelled to post pictures of the dye book I have just started. I only have two yarns and four dyes to put in it so far, but will be adding to it over easter with anything and everything I can find!






I feel like an alchemist, experimenting and documenting my findings.
I've been doing alot of weaving lately, here's a sneak peek at my pin-tuck work...I'll post more tomorrow.
