July Show and Tell Part 4

Rose produced a baby wrap made with chunky threads in plain weave, finished with a wide crochet edge.

And a larger throw in different colours, woven in a texture weave suited to the slub yarn.

This wrap has a silvery thread incorporated in the yarn used in both warp and weft in a complex twill pattern. It is finished with a silver-grey satin ribbon along the edges and a silver rat-tail cord to enhance the ends.  This is a UFO that has finally become a FO.

That wraps up the July news but there are more pics to come so keep watching.

July Show and Tell Part 3

Chris shows one of her lovely generously large throws. In spite of her intention for it to be a 'stash-buster' Chris confirms there is just as much stash as ever. Stash-busting just never seems to work!

Here is a close-up of the clever colour blending and the goose-eye type twill construction.

Again, Chris goes for generous size and bold colours for this baby blanket. The crochet edge makes a good finish.

A close-up showing the huck blocks within plain weave squares with a light-coloured outline. The crossing of the colours gives a multi-hued effect.

June 2012 Meeting Show and Tell

This is Judy's table runner woven in 16/2 cottons. The pattern is Indian March Twill from Marguerite Davison's pattern book. Lovely subtle colours Judy.

Noeline's baby blanket was woven in 4-ply machine washable wool, double width. The pattern is a family tartan and the blanket has a fringe on all four sides.

This scarf was woven by June with a mix of boucle and smooth yarns which had been dyed at a dye day. As usual with June's work it is beautifully finished.

Rose was away from home on the meeting day but sent her contribution by email; a baby blanket in a combination of slub and smooth woollen yarns. The crochet edging gave her something to do while away from the loom.

Thanks to Chris for these photos.
