weaving Fun-damentals
February 8, 2013
two of my students are enjoying sampling on the end of their warps
colours
twill, different yarn weights
more log cabin – sort of!
but the fun really began when they got down on the floor and started sharing some old bobbins
with southern Ontario experiencing a major snowstorm and a blizzard forecast for the East coast I hesitate to show this – but they are inside!
Iris
“Harmony”
the scent is heavenly

I have always loved Dutch Iris. These are spectacular, Jean. Isn’t the colour heavenly?
Myra – these are miniature, they grow to approx. 6 inches (15cm)the contrast in colour is stunning.
I love those little irises, mine grow outside but haven’t dared to show themselves just yet. I have found my snowdrops and hellebores though. Spring IS coming. Enjoy your weekend Jean.
Lis – I have them outside, too. couldn’t resist these ones for an early start.
A post full of colour…I wish I could smell the irises!
Blandina – they have a soft, sweet scent that is overlooked when out in the garden, I love to have a pot inside in the spring
oh, heavenly harmony! i love the scent of paperwhites, which i forgot to do this year. but iris! and i love your students on the floor sharing bobbins. so cool! my weaving teacher at college used to weave off student’s abandoned ends of warps…i always wove mine right up to the absolute last possible bit (often using my fingers and the weft butterflied).
Velma – these two students are so excited and happy, they are going to weave to the absolute end – and both now are working on looms at home. It takes me back to the time I was excited by every new discovery.
Such a nice atmosphere we can feel on your pictures. Concentration on work, and passion in the air, great !
