Weaverly

I am fascinated by weather maps and find unexpected beauty in wind patterns especially. How can anyone resist this morning’s map off the Carolina coast (as long as you are warm and dry, as I hope you are)?

Yesterday I cut off a finished warp, and machine washed & dried it after separating the individual napkins (which had been hemstitched while still under tension). I had not previously worked with this 8/4 cotton as warp and was blown away by the beauty of the fringe after washing. I had spent weeks on the computer version of the draft, and more weeks on the weaving, but was totally unprepared for the star of the show: the beautiful fringe.
