Last year, as winter was setting in, my niece Julie accosted me, looking for some needlework to do that wasn’t difficult, that worked up easily and quickly, and that would give her something creative to do with her hands during the evening hours. We foraged about in my Bin of Sundry Collected Needlework Goods, and ...
Original... Topside and Reverse (This could be Estonian or German!) I saw this pattern on line somewhere and I just had to make it. I had to carve a wider band loom to work it because the whole pattern uses 92 Threads, 46 holes and 46 slots. After I made my loom, I found I still made it too narrow. My new loom uses up to 80 Threads, so I had to drop the 6 thread borders. I like the colors. On the original you can see the 3 colors (plus white), red, turquoise and blue. It is not so hard as it looks. It helps to follow the chart row by row and then you don't have to think about the 3 different sections...it will just all fall into place. Close up with dotted border. Pulling up that side red thread to show it more. Pattern draft. Start at bottom. When you get to the top of the chart you will have one extra white row in the side patterns because the two side pick-ups do not align with the middle pick-up. My first attempt at this was so pretty that I cut it into sections and framed them. My next attempt will include the side border dots. I am looking for a closer color match and I want all 3 colors in wool. Background white threads are cotton so the piece will not stretch. As soon as I make a wider loom that is! Happy weaving!
Alluring waves from black to white woven on soft white background create a timeless, yet modern, look. The same can be said about the intriguing diamond fade pattern boldly woven across the middle. 50 Waves of Gray is a unique Swedish Weave pattern made with 100% white cotton monk's cloth. It is a unique look that is both neutral and interesting. There is fringe at both short edges accented with the same colors with the same shading technique. This instruction booklet assumes a novice's knowledge of Swedish Weaving. It is in pdf format that you download onto your computer and can print off on your printer, or simply view on your computer's screen.

Swedish or Huck Weaving patterns for an apron and towel. Instructions and diagrams are included in the post or as a PDF file download.
This is an unfinished Swedish weaving table runner where I had trouble following the pattern so ended up doing it my own way. It is often very difficult to follow these old patterns that are printed in black only instead of having each line a different color. That's the problem I ran into with"Tropical Paradise" which is in the first Avery Hill book of patterns. Whoever thought to color code each line of pattern is a genius!! Anyway, I just couldn't decipher the pattern where the lines crossed each other and finally gave up and sort of created my own pattern. Some interesting features were lost that way but it was the best I could do. I'm using a very course and thick yarn...an old one without the wrapper to identify it...and it gives great texture. It's rough to work with but looks perfect when done. I like using a thicker yarn like this once in a while because you always get good heavy texture with it. The monks cloth is a light sage and the yarn is a variegated green. I've already packed my sewing machine in the car to go to Florida so any Swedish weaving I do right now will be finished in Florida. This will be my last post of the year so I wish everyone a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. Keep on weaving!
