This motif is from page 24 of Inkle by Evelyn Neher. Isn’t it amazing how manipulating a few warps creates such visual impact.
If you look very closely at the band, the motif is off slightly off-centern this is not a mistake. My loom is warped with 23 warp ends, but today’s design is 12 warp ends wide, making it impossible to be exactlyin the center. Before I warped my loom, I looked at all of the patterns I want to use on this band and discovered the widest is 23 warp ends. By warping for the widest motif, I figure I can use the same warp for all the motifs.
Warp, weave, be happy ~ Jennifer
Your motif and colors look beautiful in this project. I am so pleased that you are sharing your inkle/band weaving again on this blog! I borrowed the Evelyn Neher book through interlibrary loan a few years ago, and it certainly is a fantastic book. Perhaps someday it will be republished, I hope. Best wishes for 2021 and this blog.
Hi, Kathy. Thank you for the kind words. I was first introduced to Evelyn Neher’s book by borrowing it through my weaver’s guild library. It has been a favorite since. Best wishes to you for 2021 and all of your fiber-y endeavors.
Love this! Happy New Year. Good luck with your goals! Pamela
Thanks, Pamela. Happy New Year you too. May we both have success in our goals for 2021!
Your weaving is so clean and precise. I love it. It feels very calming.
Kind of you to say so, Julia, thank you. It is amazing to me how calming weaving for even such a short time the past two days has been.
What an inspirational start to the year. I’m looking forward to seeing your band pile grow.
I have wanted to do this for so long, this just seemed like the perfect year. I hope you got a chance to look at some of the other daily weaving practices, they are all so inspiring. I’m curious to see what inspiration strikes on what to do with the bands at the end… Happy New Year!
Hi Jennifer,
This is a surprise, but an entirely interesting one. You probably don’t remember me we met at the “Braids 2016” in Tacoma, WA. I missed the australian fashion show and you graciously sent me copies of your pictures.
I’m enjoying your daily posts and look forward to sein them.
Thanks, Wayne Wiley Pflugerville, Texas
Hi Wayne! Of course I remember you! What a pleasant surprise. I am glad you have enjoyed so far, as I have too, it’s been a great way to bring in the new year! Happy New Year!
