I've been following your blog for a little while, but just now went and looked at your archives and lo and behold there are the towels - I love your variation with the stripes!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1141695578969871932006-03-06T20:39:00.000-05:002006-03-06T20:39:00.000-05:00Great descriptions and pictures, Cathy.

I s...Hi Santos - oh dear, I think I lost everyone! I sort of expected that, hence all the photos! Weaving does have an interesting vocabulary. I'm really curious about the origin of some of the terms.<BR/><BR/>Hi Zarah - sorry!! I can't wait to show you! At the rate I'm going I could still be working on this project, but I hope to speed things up a bit and if I time things right, maybe I could start on a new project while you're here.<BR/><BR/>Hi Rosa - thank you! I like this pattern too - though eventually you'll see it looks a little different off the loom. I'd say yes, weaving is relaxing once you get into a rhythm. You have to become familiar with the treadling for the fabric you're weaving and figure out the appropriate beat so that the weft is spaced correctly, but once all that has been internalized, your mind can wander to a certain extent. It's also very satisfying to see the pattern take shape in the fabric. My cat Leo (so far) seems to be afraid of the loom when it's in motion, so so-far-so-good on that count! He's not so good when I knit though!<BR/><BR/>Hi Grommie - I expect it's the kind of thing you can't really absorb unless you can see everything in motion and put your hands on it. But if I pique your interest, maybe that's enough!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11194828903719000019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7157527.post-1141482832380342112006-03-04T09:33:00.000-05:002006-03-04T09:33:00.000-05:00That's awesome.

And, do tell, what does your cat do while all the threads are moving? Is she into everything? My cats would never allow me to weave! It's bad enough just trying to crochet. They have to be right in the middle of it. I can't wait to see the finished product.
