I’m not a fan of floating selvedges. Moving their weights, separating them from the threaded ends they’re next to, lifting them up to go under or pushing them down to go over – that all detracts from my weaving experience. Anything that slows me down and interrupts my weaving zen irritates me every single time.
A painted warp is beautiful even before you weave anything with it! I tried warp painting with Turned Taqueté since I already explored this weave and variations of it this year. As an afterthought I also tried it with plain weave and the awesome result turned out to be anything but plain. My first experience…

Tired of flimsy metal cages that keep breaking every season or topple over from the weight of your plants? If you want an easy and inexpensive way to trellis tomatoes, let me introduce you to the Florida weave. Also known as the basket weave method, it goes up fast and uses everyday supplies you might already have around the yard.
While weaving a pair of warp rep (warp-faced rep weave) runners, I was already imagining weaving another one. So I did try a variation and a different color. Then I thought it would be interesting to weave another variation for a belt. That turned out to be a lot of fun. These are the projects that…
For many years, wearing a weave was considered taboo. Women went to great lengths (pun intended) to conceal the fact that they had hair extensions that complemented their already perfect locks. Fortunately, that time has passed. It seems that...
As a very new weaver, I became enamored with deflected double weave. I first saw it in an 8-shaft weaving group on Facebook, and from there I went down the rabbit hole on Pinterest and Instagram finding all the different (already existing) designs I could lay my eyes upon.

Do you weave in your ends as you go or do you wait until the end? Saying I love stripes is an understatement. I think 90% of my projects involve stripes. You know what I hate? You guessed it…I hate weaving in my ends. So when knitting, this is how I weave in my ends as I go. That way, when I am done with my knitted item, I really am done because I do not have to go back to weave in my ends. I did that already!! So….are you team weave in your ends as you go or team leave it for the ...
My idea is to take Lunagram fabric and weave it with smart wires that track your every movement and interact with the Nike+ sensors that are already reading your heel, midfoot and forefoot pressure an...
When you have many patterns to weave on 4x4" looms (Zoom Loom / Weave-It) and also pattern books and perhaps you have already ventured to invent your own stitches and patterns, surely you have wondered if you can use them on other larger looms, to make larger pieces. The answer is YES! And in this…
Weave-It Loom The other day Mark and I went to a small flea market in Lyme, NH where our friend Marianne McCann was selling some work. She ...
My newest tutorial explains how to weave the Lozenge Bracelet with two sizes of seed beads and thread. The Lozenge weave creates a thin fabric of seed beads that is flexible and comfortable. You can make this weave in lots of different shapes because the pattern repeats like wallpaper. Lozenge Bracelet with Beaded Button Loop Clasp This tutorial also includes step-by-step instructions for weaving the button loops. This clasp is quite easy to do and undo, and it stays buttoned when you want it to. I wore the bracelet out to lunch, and I didn't have a single loop come undone. Plus, if one were to come undone, there's two more to catch it. The reason they work is a combination of the flatness of the loops and the shanks on the buttons. This lozenge pattern is an unusual and complex angle weave, making it suitable for intermediate bead weavers who are already very comfortable with right angle weave. If you like RAW and want a new challenge, you’ll love this. If you want even more of a challenge, you can scale this weave down to use your itty bitty size 15 seed beads, like I did for this Lozenge Weave Chain Necklace. This tutorial is 21 pages, including about 100 illustrations and photographs. The tutorial is a PDF file that gives step-by-step instructions for the bracelet in the photos. The last 6 pages include photos and illustrations of a bunch of variations. Here you can see all 21 pages. If you purchase the tutorial, you get the exact same 21 pages, but in an instant download, LARGE, easy-to-read PDF file. Isn't life great? Lozenge Bracelet Tutorial Thanks for looking.
