On my Macomber at home is...

Some more deflected doubleweave, my own draft. This time it's on just 8 shafts, and it's psuedo-yardage, it is destined to be chopped up into 3" squares and sent off to the members of the Weavers Guild of Boston (in other words, it's the Guild's winter sample). Weaving with 14/2 alpaca silk from Webs that I had in my stash, lime green and teal in the warp, grey and grey-teal in the weft. It's been a while since I've woven yardage, it's freeing not to have to worry about tucking in ends and making neat selvedges!

As my son reminds me every day... Christmas is a week away, yikes! Wishing everyone a lovely holiday, and wishing for some snow here! (Supposed to be 60F next week, terrible news if you're a skier. Which I am. Dratted El Nino!)

New Blog, First Post

First posts are always a bit strange. So instead of talking your heads off, I think I'll just post some pictures of what I've been up to lately.

Embroidering cities (this is Barcelona, and still in progress).

Renting a new studio at WAS, yay! (Studio 511)

Weaving some deconstructed pinwheel scarves with hand dyed yarn

Embroidering Montmartre in Paris

Enjoying eggs from our new chickens!

Getting teary visiting WAS again after a long hiatus with no studio there

Weaving deflected doubleweave in tencel for Complex Weavers study group

Here's the deflected doubleweave after washing

Little notebooks that I bound myself (and screenprinted, yay!)

Dying alpaca/wool/silk yarn (winding skeins into balls to weave with)

A whole bunch of screen printed coffee cups...
