I've kept a good record of what I have been weaving. I'll finish the edges first and wash one of the samples and see what difference this makes to the weaving. This is fine cotton yarn, so I do not expect great changes after washing like you would with wool yarn. Next I'll have a good look at the different patterns and see if there is one that I would like to repeat in a complete scarf.
I'll post a few detailed photos later.
Last week was a busy week as my father turned 99! I feel very privileged being able to celebrate this with him. His wife who suffers from Alzheimer, has taken a turn health wise, so we will have to see how things go.
I'll see if I can get my next warp on the loom quickly so that I can keep on weaving....
Good for you for sampling! I find it hard to sample even though I know it's the right thing to do; I just want to get into the project right away and get that instant gratification!
ReplyDeleteWell, happy birthday to your dad. I don't understand what your sample is, but I enjoyed seeing it - thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteThose are great samples! Thanks for sharing them!!
ReplyDeleteA really experienced weaver was just asking me today if I sample enough....and I think I don't. It's great to see how other people sample so that I can learn to be better at that!
Happy birthday to your dad!!

Happy birthday to your dad! Your samples look very interesting, and I look forward to continue following your deflected doubleweave project.
ReplyDeleteIt was a great work you have done, lovely! How nice that you have visited my blog and that you have found a translation tool. I use google translate, although not all the words are correct. Sincerely, Turid
ReplyDeleteOh, fascinating! Could we see close-ups of the scarves, please?
ReplyDeleteThe deflected double weave is wonderful! I'm inspired (if I can ever get to my loom again.)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday to your dad. 99 is really an amazing age to live to. May he have a wonderful day!
