I was very happy when a friend from college contacted me about weaving a table runner for her boyfriend for Valentine's Day. When we started discussing style, I was even happier that she loves overshot as much as I do! I really loved the Wandering Vine - also known as Snail Trail

If you've seen my woven art before, you know I like to use the pile weave from time to time. For those that are new to weaving, the pile weave is woven loops. It's one of my favorite ways to add texture and dimension to my weaves. I especially love how flexible the loops are.

Weaving free-form shapes is kinda like making your own little puzzle - You weave a shape, then fill in another shape next to it.

Decide how wide you want your first shape to be and weave back and forth. ...

Building A 4-Shaft PVC Loom contains detailed plans to build a fully functional 4-shaft weaving loom using mainly PVC pipe. The loom can weave a full 24 inches wide. The cost of materials is but a fraction of the price of a new, furniture-quality wooden loom. With the exception of a Reed and Heddles, all of the construction materials may be found at home supply stores like Lowe's, Sears Hardware, and Home Depot. Loom making is fun!

Obviously I couldn't wait to try the technique myself... so here's how to weave pibiones (the word, in Sardinian dialect, means grape) Warp and weft are the same, while the extra weft is thicker. I think I like best the monochrome version, where the design resulting from the contrast between plain weave and the little grapes is not so obvious. The diameter of the stick goes according to the thickness of the weft - just like knitting. Normally the stick is made of metal, but at that moment I only had a wooden needle available! Step 1 :: according to your design, count the warp threads and wrap the extra weft on the stick. This is a bit tricky, as the tension of the extra weft on the stick has to be even in order to get pibiones of the same size, but it only takes a bit of practice. Step 2 :: once you finish a row, secure it with a pick of plain weave (here traditionally there would be 3 picks of plain weave between one row and the other). Leave the needle in place. Step 3 :: remove the needle and get ready for another row, following your design!

I'm going to call this technique doodle weaving, because there is no planned shape. Just the fun of doodling in different colors!

Learn how to direct warp on your table loom with this easy tutorial. It used a technic similar to direct warping on rigid heddle loom.

I really must try harder to blog more than once a month..... but April wasn't really a time for sitting at the computer; it was much more suited for walking, cycling, gardening, sunbathing and barbecues :-) But I did manage to make another Spirit Cloth...a tiny one this time (my wrinkly hand is there to show size :-) ) It's going to be the centre panel for a cushion - when I can get hold of some dark blue velvet. Last week The Living Threads group of textile artists held an exhibition very close to where I live. I managed two visits! Had a lovely day with Maggi and then went again with my friend Lynne. I used to belong to this group when it first started in 1982 but had to give it up because of my job. Fingers crossed....I'm hoping to join again, so maybe I'll be involved at the next exhibition in two years time. Unfortunately no photos were allowed at the exhibition - but I can show you a felting kit I bought there! Hoping to have a go at this tomorrow.... We've been out and about over the last few weeks...went to Calke Abbey to see the wonderful gardens and the fabulous display of auriculas. Calke has not been over-restored; which is why I like it so much. The orangery still has beautiful peeling paint on the walls (great for textures!). I took this photo in the corner; the damaged wall almost looks like a church window. I haven't altered the image - just added a worn edge. Lots of people have photos of bluebells on their blogs at the moment...its been a great year for them. We went to Charnwood Forest in Leicestershire and walked amongst them in the sunshine. The smell was as beautiful as the sight of them...what bliss. The next photo is for Patty...we always have a debate at this time of year about how her American bluebells are different from ours :-) Another day...another walk; this time to Dale Abbey about 5 miles from where we live. It has one of the smallest churches in the country, a hermits cave in the hillside, the remains of a 13thC abbey and a great pub! The bit at the end on the left is the church......the rest is a farmhouse! Peachy News He's been enjoying the sun, as you can see.......and watching the plants grow ;-) And....he now has his own door! He loves it and uses it so much, I just hope he doesn't wear it out..... It's operated by the microchip in his neck....how clever is that!!! Right, I'm off to sit here and read my Country Living magazine. I'll be back soon .....hopefully before June ;-)
