Caramelized Shallots

30 inches wide makes it a little slow going because it’s a bit awkward reaching that far. I’m using the big shuttle so I don’t have to wind bobbins so frequently. These will be bath towels to match the hand towels I made a few months ago.

I finished the echo scarves. I quite like them and I am eager to keep trying some more echo technique.

Specs: The original draft is from Ingrid Boesel. It is available on handweaving.net #75797. I echo-ized it with 4 colors, red, yellow, emerald and cobalt. (8/2 cotton and 5/2 cotton.) The wefts are wine and yale blue, both 10/2 cotton. 8 shafts, 8 treadles

Check out this cool old article I found about the original owner of my loom. I am pretty sure the photo shows my loom! It is the 40" 12 harness loom mentioned in the article.

Recently completed scarf. All cotton. Draft is one of Ingrid Boesel’s Thrilling Twills.

11 shafts, 11 treadles. I still haven’t used all 12 shafts and 18 treadles on my loom.

Got her all ready for the next project: removed the thrums from the last project, dusted, polished, added heddles to shafts 10, 11, and 12, changed the reed, and tied up the treadles.

Since I am on a rant about invasive plants, let me share this cool little graphic about garlic mustard that the friends of the local park just sent out.

Not mentioned here is that another way this little fucker is so insidious is that it disrupts the mycorrhiza that many native plants need to grow.

Well...at least no one is posting arty photos of this one.
