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.

Ulla De L. – Towels on a Glimakra loom

I have been spending two months in Sweden where I have an 8 shaft, 36”
Glimåkra Ideal. Two years ago, I was given the stash from a cousin’s mother-in-law. Lots for
16/2 cotton and cottolin. I had many years ago woven a set of kitchen towels out of cottolin that I really like to use and have stood up very well. So, the choice was easy. The old towels were set at 30epi, very tight for the yarn, but I decided to keep the sett and made two 5-meter warps.
