Donna D – Baby Blankets in Swedish Lace

In our weave structures group our most recent structure was Swedish lace.                                   I did a set of 4 baby blankets with the same threading, but each a slightly different lace pattern.                                                                                                                                                                   They are 10/2 cotton white warp with 10/2 cotton either pale blue or pale pink weft.       SETT is 24.

Lizzie T – Summer and Winter Towels

Here’s some photos of my latest finished project!                                                                                   It’s a set of summer and winter towels (and, in a very bad photo, potholders!) inspired by a class I took with Sarah Jackson at last year’s CNCH.                                                                        When you use the same size thread for both pattern and tabby weft, the colors blend together much more thoroughly, giving a really neat spectrum effect.                                                I’ve included one in-progress photo with Cordelia (my cat) so you can see the colors of the warp—the weft dramatically changes how it looks.
