Try Again
Reference You may have thought from all of the weaving posts that I had given up on knitting. But no, that is not the case. The knitting has just been going on behind the scenes when I would go to Sip ‘n Knit and when it would get too dark for me to weave. And…

Don’t Stop
Reference This post was originally supposed to be about the actual action of weaving. (The part that everyone sees when weaving is being demostrated somewhere.) But I got a little carried away.

(Sley) Ride
Reference OK. A few notes before I go forward with this entry: I have changed warps on you. I am using yarn that I spun a couple years ago for the project you are about to see. I didn’t want anyone thinking that weaving had the magical power to turn fingering weight purple silk into worsted weight handspun blue/green/purple…

One Step Up
And two steps back. Reference Well, this is as far as I am with my mother’s sock. Now, if you saw it last Wednesday night, you might be saying to yourself, “Funny, I thought he was a lot further along with it than that at Meetup.” Well, yes, I was. After finishing the heel flap,…

Even It Up
Reference Well, I have another set of socks done in Jitterbug. Nothing too unusual about them,

Room to Move
Reference Well, if you look at this picture it looks like I really haven’t done anything on the weaving front. But, that is not the case. After mending the broken warp thread and giving the warp a nice, deep conditioning, there was just no getting around it: my main problem was that the spacing of…
