Kimono and Scarf by Johanna Gelb
Some detail from Johanna: “The first one is my Kimono jacket made from a Summer and Winter with a Twist pattern from Handwoven.It is made of cotton. The second one is a wool scarf that was made for the demonstration at the Santa Clara County Fair in August, as a part of the Demo Sheep to Shawl event. It is a twill structure.”
Shawl by Lizzy Ten-Hove
Some detail from Lizzy: “This is a follow-up to last month’s write-up on the BSHG/Serendipity Spinners sheep-to-shawl demonstration at the Santa Clara County Fair: my shawl is finished! The structure is a two-block crackle using a draft by Susan Capehart in Handwoven Fall 2025.”
Basket by Ange
Some detail from Ange: “Ange took Barbara Shapiro’s basket class. The pattern is by Annetta Kraayeveld.”
Blanket and Table Runner by Stefanie Selck
Some detail from Stefanie: “What’s on my loom this month? I stepped up the intensity and took full advantage of my “herd of looms”. Two commissions and a new tapestry piece are in the works on three different looms. What fun to go back and forth and enjoy a completely different structure and material on each loom.”
Sampler by Laura Rhodes
Some detail from Laura: “I recently purchased Deborah Silver’s book, “The Technique of Split-Shed Weaving”. I am intrigued about the possibilities this technique provides for making pictorial weavings. I put on a narrow (6”) wide warp and made a sampler of the majority of the weaving structures in the book. The picture shows the polychrome 3-tie twill section of my sampler. There are two colors of yarn in each pattern pick which sometimes show singly and other times together.”
