With all of the nasty viruses going around, weaving can be a great source of relaxation. Whether you are doing rigid heddle weaving, continuous strand weaving or floor loom weaving. It is a great way to express yourself and escape. Our craft can join and connect people in a common interest. The sense of community that comes from sharing weaving can bridge a great many differences .Working with ones hands can bring great joy. The joy and community are also elements of life that promote health. I try to spend some time every day on my craft. Sometimes it is weaving, sometimes it is spinning yarn and most recently I am learning to sew. (Oh the ideas for the fabric)
Learning Continuous Strand Weaving by Rita Starceski. This is about my adventures of learning Continuous Strand or Continuous Loop Weaving.
I bought a small tri-loom not too long ago. Was lot of fun weaving on it. I have to figure out best ways of finishing it off. I just crocheted around the whole thing for now. Hope you post more of your shawls as you make them.
ReplyDeleteI knitted a border on it. I just picked up stitches around the edge and completed a border similar to the boneyard shawl pattern on Ravelry.
ReplyDeleteIf your dress is bright red, a shawl in a darker shade or tint of red will play a complimentary role. The darker shades or tone in your shawl create a contrast that is attractive without trying to overshadow the color of your red dress.https://mommysnextstep.blogspot.co.uk/2018/01/beautiful-hijabs-from-hidden-pearls.html
