Weaverly

Yes, truly, that’s what I have entitled this draft. I doodle on the computer when the yarn refuses to behave. Or when the weaving pixies run amok, as they have this week.

It’s an amalgamation on a simple point twill, no networking here, and I designed it with the help of TempoWeave on my Mac. See sidebar for more resources about amalgamation.

If you look at the amalgamated (i.e., fuzzy) parts of this draft and squint a little, you will see some lacy bits. That’s where the longer floats tend to gather. But no floats are longer than 5 in this draft. Feel free to use it in your own work, but please give appropriate credit. If you’d really like to see a wif, just leave me a comment. If enough people are interested, I’ll upload it to handweaving.net.

You can have so much fun with these simple amalgamations. Flip, wrap, or rotate the tieups, Add color, or go for total monochrome and just concentrate on the textures.

And here’s a bit of hope for all my friends, a sunrise picture captured o a cold morning. Happy holidays, everyone,
