I’ve struggled a lot with an idea for my header–how to represent the range of interests and the focus of what I write about . . . you’re right–I could change it to reflect what I’m currently work on, I guess.
There are so many different directions weavers can take, just like quilters. I seem to be drawn to utilitarian items but I still want them to look snazzy!
What’s next? Well, I think more towels–different colors and weave structure. I’m keeping it straightforward at this point. I got the book about linen that you recommended–wow! So much to learn and absorb!
Thank you! I’m pretty happy with them, indeed! Now I just need to force myself to use them–they were made to be used but I’m dreading the first stain . . .
Why are you teasing us? 😉 Is there a little imperfection in the top right hand corner out of view????? A drop of chocolate somewhere? Surely not, they look too perfectly gorgeous.
There are flaws all through them. But as with all glamour photography, the flaws can be hidden! And, since they were made to do a job of work, a few flaws won’t be a problem. And I still think they’re pretty!
You know, that’s a good question. I worked on them very sporadically. They were all done on one long warp so I just had to do the threading of the loom once but it’s still time-consuming. When I sat down to actually weave, I probably did about 6-8 inches in an hour. I would’ve been happy for them to take longer because now I have an empty loom again!
Thanks for the thoughts! But we live a 7-hour drive across New York from the snow, although we did live in the snow area for many years and are glad to have moved away! Many of our friends were there and are still overwhelmed!
Love Those "Hands at Home" 
Looking forward to the “more information ” for the towels that I see are lovely.
I have more “glamour shots” that I took, and all the photos hide the flaws from being a novice weaver!
I think you should crop that shot and use it for your blog header image!
At least for a while – I know you have a lot of other handmade things that would look good in the header also. 🙂

They look absolutely wonderful, Kerry! And my favorite colours too … 🙂
Have a lovely weekend,
Dina
They are perfect for you. 😀
Thanks, Dina–and, yes, those would be your favorite colors, wouldn’t they?!
I like the colors and design 🙂
Thanks–the whole idea was to mimic vintage towels–what a surprise, huh? 😉
Wow! Impressed!! 🙂
Thanks, Pauline–they’re full of flaws but till photogenic!
I’m impressed, too! So lovely! Been a ton of years since my last weavings and nothing I did compares with these!!!!!!

Very, very pretty!! I am looking forward to the ‘ more information’…
I hope to find time to write more soon–this candy making is a full-time job, right now!
looking great – enjoy using them. now what’s next? the constant question of a weaver.

These are stunning. You should be very proud of them, they are beyond perfect! I will look forward to the next installment.

I am so darn impressed!! Wow, Kerry … how long did that take (If you don;t mind sharing that)

Wow! I’m also impressed. They are lovely.
Thanks! As weaving goes, they are very basic, beginner’s work but they make me happy!
Oh yes! And such a fabulous colour combination! Did you get the snow? Was thinking of you.. xxx
