Love Those "Hands at Home" 
Absolutely lovely. But, I am a visual learner and need a 5 minute video to understand how something this beautiful is created. 🙂
Oh, lordy–5 minutes would not do it! We learned several different techniques, some 100% new to us . . . it was seriously intense.
Oh my! Each piece being worked on are wonderful. Will be fun to find out what they will be when finished…
Some of them won’t end up being much of anything I’m afraid. Because we were doing so much in a short week, we weren’t spending a lot of time on each project. Although, having said that, I do have ideas . . .
Thank you for the peek! Looking forward to more!!! beautiful, inspiring, wow!
More coming soon! You can appreciate, more than most, just how intense this week was!
So intricate…..beautiful! Can’t wait to see the pieces “up close and personal”!
Soon, my friend! Very soon! 😉
Ooh, leno lace, one of my faves. I’m dizzy thinking about the threading for these patterns.
The teacher of this session has figured out a way to do Leno lace as a treadled weave! It’s a crazy process, one I can’t do on my home looms, but fascinating!
Well, if this is just a taster …. we’re in for a feast soon.
I have a veritable feast of fabric sitting around here! Now, all I need it time. I’m sure you, just back from a much more intense trip, can relate!
Looks like you had a productive week. Looking forward….
What a week! It was very productive–I just wanted to stay and keep weaving . . .
Wow! Are you in classes? Such a lovely variety. Can’t wait to see more.
Yes, we were in a week-long workshop focusing on Nordic weaving techniques. More soon (I hope!)
Lovely sampler, each one is my favorite 🙂
That’s pretty much how I felt weaving them! Even the ones I thought I wouldn’t enjoy I ended up liking!
think I can guess where you are, wonderful!
Oh, Jean–what a week! My brain is full and all I want to do is weave!
Wow, just wow! Each photo is amazing to me – you are making these! The intricate patterns and the colours – and I must imagine the texture feel – this is worth being away from your computer for a while! I’d quite like to pop over and admire in person 🙂
I wish you could pop over! It was a really intense, amazing week–I’m a little surprised at how much we accomplished, when I look at the pile of fabric we brought home!
Looks like you are having lots of fun.
It was lots of fun but also hard work, as I’m sure you can appreciate! I’m not used to sitting at a loom from 8 until 6 . . .
I look at the volume that comes out of those workshops and wonder if you even sleep. Such beautiful work.
Oh, we slept like stones but I dreamt of weaving all night! It’s amazing how much you can produce when it’s the only thing you work at, all day!
These are really lovely. Beautiful colour combinations!
Thanks, Clare–I’ve always felt rather intimidated by color choices but I was pretty happy with what I came up with!
The detail you incorporated into your piece is really spectacular, very beautiful.
We were being taught some pretty exotic weave structures!
Lovely!
Thanks! I keep pulling out the fabric and re-admiring them!
A perfect peek.
Now if I could just find the time to give you a longer, proper look!
Yes, time is always too short when you need it most. 😉
Whew–you said it!
Oh my, can’t wait to see the rest of this!
The group of 8 weavers made beautiful and totally individual pieces! I will post more soon!
Lovely!
Thanks! It was quite a week! I’ll be back to your blog soon.
This is so impressive! Super love for your weaving!❤️❤️❤️
Thanks, Cathe! I have to admit, I’m pretty impressed with our weaving, too–this workshop really took us up a notch!
They’re all so pretty Kerry:)
Thanks, Divya!
They are all beautiful and of course, well done.
Your output and productivity are incredible!
It would be hard NOT to be product, given the hours we spent at the looms last week! Hard work but we learned so much!
What gorgeous and varied pieces. I can’t wait to hear the narration to go with them. I’m glad you are having fun.
The narration will come soon, I hope. Isn’t it crazy how much work piles up during the time one is away from home?!
Oh my goodness yes!
[J] Leno Lace: Lovely! It’s the structural forms that brought me to weaving many years ago, but I seem to have stopped short of the pure thing.
The woman who owns this weaving school has figured out, with an old Swedish weaving book, a complicated, and fascinating, way to do treadled leno. I won’t be able to do it on my home loom but I love having had the experience!
Awesome, Kerry!
Thanks, Phyllis–it was amazing week! It really took my weaving up a notch–you should go sometime!
This is beautiful work, Kerry!
Thanks–these were all new experiences for us!
Sigh I am back from my travels and the like and catching up. My such lovely posts and with lovely photos. Thanks Kerry, total bliss!
I can relate–I just got back from 10 days away and am trying to catch up, too! I know how busy you are–thanks for taking the time to come by here!
Don’t know why I find your weaving so intriguing, but I do. It’s like a work of art that I keep looking at!
These were all new weaving structures
Oops–hit send too soon! These new structures were very intriguing and complicated–I’m glad non-weavers find them interesting, too!
