Week 51 of 2025

This week I finished weaving a set of tea towels -

This is my own pattern from the Goose Eye draft in the book A Handweaver's Pattern Book by Marguerite Porter Davison (the green one). I chose the draft because there are quite a few tie-ups and treadling patterns. Each towel is a different pattern. The towels were woven with 2/8 unmercerized cotton from Maurice Brassard.

With the warp ends I was able to make a few more paper towel replacement cloths.

More details can be found on my Ravelry page.

This project marks the end of my year of experimenting with weaving (a sample of the weaving projects hanging behind the loom). I learned a lot, gained confidence with weaving, and had lots of fun. More details about this year long project can be found on my Ravelry page.

My son's Christmas bonus (over 20 colours of poinsettias at the greenhouse where he works, and this one is his favourite, I love it).

There was a big blizzard this week. I was glad to stay inside while some others went to check on the chickens - you can just see them walking down the driveway.

GingerSnap! was happy to watch the storm from inside too.

All the best!♥︎
