The letter this week is evidently W
for Warp and for Weft
It seems I missed a week somehow during the first part of December!!!
How did I do that?
Oh, I know how I did that -
I was so delighted to have my eight shaft dressed and in harness
and was too busy throwing the WEFT through the WARP
and making kitchen towels to give away at Christmas.
Just a little short Warp to help balance the loom
while my son patiently tied
all the cords and the strings and the heddles
to dress Her Ladyship.
More Ws here at ABC Wednesday
now we're back on track.
It is beautiful Hildred. Weaving seems so popular over your side of the Pond - I only know one person here who does it. I love your choice of colours.
ReplyDeleteWhoopee, wonderful work wrought by the wizard weaving woman.
ReplyDeleteVery creative, how wonderful.

My father was wonderful with wood. He even made a large loom for my mother to use. He set it up in our patio room when I was little and I remember weaving place mats on it. When they moved it was given away, maybe to a school or craft classroom. - Margy
ReplyDeleteI came by to wish you a Happy New Year, Hildred. I like the red in the towels (my favorite color). You've been very busy! Now what is your next project in the new year? Our 3 oldest Grands arrive tonight for a few days of visiting and skiing. We finally got snow (about 2') over Christmas. Take Care and Happy 2018!
