Comment on Teal…again by Sharolene

Sharolene — Mon, 30 Apr 2012 19:20:21 +0000

I have a heck of a time trying to control my gauge. I’m going to take a 4 day intensive from Judith this summer and hopefully I’ll get a better handle on how to increase the size of my spinning. Right now, I tend to make the yarn whatever size it wants to be but I’d love to be able to control that better. You did a wonderful job with the bag yarn. I’d love to spin like that.

wow – very nice

Comment on Silk Cord 2 by Ann

Ann — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 18:35:14 +0000

Yes. It’s the first time I’ve played with tubular weave on a band. It’s quite fun to create my own piping this way. It’ll be trim on my bag.

Comment on Silk Cord 2 by Barbara

Barbara — Tue, 17 Apr 2012 17:28:53 +0000

is this a tubular weave with the weft always entering the shed from the same side?

A good place to get cheap hemostats is Fire Mountain Gems. If you get 15 at a time, you can get them for about $1.50 each. The more you buy, the cheaper items are. This is a great tutorial Ann. Thanks for sharing.

Nice – thanks for the detail shot!

Comment on Choices by Grace

Grace — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 18:00:43 +0000

I concur w/ Tien w/ one caveat.
It could look really high contrast and clowny. Why not use a third neutral color to tone down the contrast? A black, navy or beige.

Comment on Choices by Tien

Tien — Fri, 16 Mar 2012 17:34:59 +0000

I’d use the two on the left. The blue and orange (brown is a dulled-out orange) are complementary colors and will make each other “pop”, more so than the pink and green skein. Unless you are aiming for less pizzazz, in which case, maybe the pink and green.

Try doing either a yarn wrap or a twist (twist a small bundle of the yarns together) to see what they will look like combined.

Just got a chance to look through the pics. Beautiful! Glad you had such a great time. Nasty bit about that attacking trigger fish!

Comment on Laundry by Barbara

Barbara — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 00:55:50 +0000

can’t wait to see how this works out. I’m putting a warp on right now from handspun in reds – I’m looking for a little bit of turquoise to add a few narrow stripes on one side as an accent. I’m not sure about what to use for weft – I have some polwarth silk that I could dye and spin up.

Comment on Monk’s Bag by Terri

Terri — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:02:18 +0000

It is what I am looking for, very nicely made and can be used for amlost anything. Can I order one from you?

Comment on Madrona Fiber Art’s Winter Retreat by Amy

wow! and so many classes sold out already! wasn’t really considering going this time, but took a look anyway. What are you taking? Looks like great offerings.

Comment on Hand Sewing by Grace

Grace — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 18:47:30 +0000

If you are doing a lot of hand sewing, it saves time to buy a bunch of pre-waxed hand sewing thread on a pre-strung hank. You just pull one out whenever you need one. In the costume shop, we’d thread a bunch at once and line them up on a pincushion before we begin.

Comment on Twill Flowers by Ann

Ann — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:22:42 +0000

Thanks, Phyllis. No, I am not giving up on it. I am betting the farm on the wet finishing process. I can sort of see the pattern but it’s not as obvious/dramatic as I had envisioned. It’s not bad, just a bit of a let down thus far.

The wet finishing will also help transform that stiff as a board thing to a beautiful drapey thing. It’s sea silk and silk, so I should be gorgeous no matter what!

Comment on Twill Flowers by Phyllis Karsten

Phyllis Karsten — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 17:00:37 +0000

Oops – “bring out the results” not biring ; )

Comment on Twill Flowers by Phyllis Karsten

Phyllis Karsten — Mon, 14 Nov 2011 16:59:27 +0000

Hello

Before you give up completely on this pattern, cut off your first scarf and wet finish it. The relaxing of the threads might just biring out the results you have been looking for.

Comment on Hand Sewing by Grace

Grace — Sat, 12 Nov 2011 07:24:57 +0000

I’m surprised you didn’t already know about the twist in sewing thread.

Comment on Locks! by Amy

Amy — Wed, 02 Nov 2011 14:57:45 +0000

64 hours…yeah, I’m avoiding the math on the 7# Corriedale fleece in gorgeous shades of gray, black and white. I don’t want all that color variegation to disappear in processing, so I’ve set it aside for the Stove treatment…followed by combing…and I’ll spin off the comb. Random color arrangement. Love the plan. Am in complete denial about how long this will take me!!

Comment on SOAR by Barbara

Barbara — Mon, 17 Oct 2011 15:57:35 +0000

for instant gratification, there is nothing like throwing a silk scarf warp on the loom and weaving it off – just a couple of days to complete and just in time for the cooler weather.

Comment on Jacket Workshop by Mel

Absolutely stunning! The fabric, the colours, the jacket, the fit … all perfect.

Comment on Jacket Workshop by Connie

Connie — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 05:30:42 +0000

What a gorgeous job you did! I don’t think I’d have had the guts to cut that gorgeous fabric. How much did you end up having left over? Enough for a skirt?

Fantastic job!

Comment on Jacket Workshop by Ann

Ann — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 20:46:53 +0000

It isn’t lined, but it is easy on/off. Hard to describe, but the underside of the fabric is very smooth.

The sleeve cap will be supported by the seam and bias tape. It looks saggy now only because I haven’t finished it and pressed it into place. I need to take another look at it. From the picture, it looks poofier than I remembered it. I think it’s because the seam is standing on end and causing some weirdness to happen.

Comment on Jacket Workshop by Grace

Grace — Thu, 22 Sep 2011 20:31:51 +0000

The jacket looks awesome. The jacket fit is just about perfect.

Will it be partially lined for easy on/off? Will you use sleeve heads to support the sleeve cap?

Comment on Jacket Workshop by Amy

Amy — Wed, 21 Sep 2011 14:53:23 +0000

Oh, Ann! It looks fabulous!! Congratulations!

Oh…your loom is “heavenly”…beeee-U-teee fulllll! I am soo jealous. How did you find it? What is the weaving width? Dare I ask? or am I being too noZEEE? How much did you pay?

I really want a loom that I could do rag rugs on. I have a Baby Wolf. But, I have always lusted after a Fireside Loom. I LUV cherry woods too!

The yardage is gorgeous, Ann. Looks like colored falling stars.

Comment on Yardage Stats by Jaya

Jaya — Tue, 30 Aug 2011 11:41:54 +0000

I love the sampler. The idea of a self-lined fabric is cool. I also like the muted color blocks on the front. I know you said the color bled through too much but I liked the way it did.

Comment on Yardage Stats by Denise

I know the feeling!! Good for you for sticking it out to 9 yards. Really looking forward to seeing the jacket. The fabric looks yummy.

Comment on Done by Barbara

Barbara — Mon, 29 Aug 2011 14:01:28 +0000

wow – 9 yards? How wide is it? I can’t wait to see what it looks like after washing.

I love the shots of color

I have a bag very close to the size and shape of the Mary Poppins bag that I take to fiber festivals to hold all my spinning paraphernalia.

Janice Podoll — Thu, 16 Jun 2011 18:18:25 +0000

Ann- great blog! I’m inspired – how did you spin the polwarth for the circle shawl – I want to spin again -
Have you been to Seattle lately?

Comment on Circle of Life by June

June — Sat, 11 Jun 2011 12:57:24 +0000

Oh my, this is so awesome I can’t even find words! I love, love, love the spinning and I can’t wait to see how this works up!

Comment on Circle of Life by Amy

Amy — Fri, 10 Jun 2011 21:30:31 +0000

regardless of your travels, you’d better be giving us a LOT of pictures….this looks so gorgeous, and I can’t wait until the color progression starts showing.

when you google “braids quantum computing” you will see that the concepts of braids as well as knots are used in Quantum Computing.

Love your scarf. I’m working on a Helix scarf now. Could you see that the final prduct would have those nice ruffles? I don’t see much ruffling in mine at the moment.

Comment on Mini Project Journal by Janine

Janine — Thu, 13 Jan 2011 04:47:40 +0000

Whoo hoo! I had always failed at figuring out how to staple these without purchasing a long-arm stapler! At a recent workshop, one woman had printed out a picture on large photo paper, which she then folded for the cover–it was the perfect weight for a cover and the photo represented the colors of her project. I thought it was a great idea.

Comment on Baby Camel Finished! by DebbieB

DebbieB — Sat, 01 Jan 2011 15:46:13 +0000

You did it! It’s great to finish a project that’s been lingering for a long time – it sets you free to start new things.

Happy New Year!

Comment on Christmas Towels by Amy

Amy — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 21:18:48 +0000

Nice job! Especially on turning the huck and making the borders.

BTW — the “weird crazed lines” are probably just tracking. There’s been a good discussion of this in the last month on WeaveTech. It’s a common occurrence in plain weave (primarily) depending on the twist of the yarns, the sett, and finishing techniques.

Comment on Christmas Towels by DebbieB

DebbieB — Mon, 27 Dec 2010 21:08:50 +0000

Lovely! I wove the Keep It Simple towels and love them. I like your variation with the borders.

Comment on Celebrate Winter Solstice with a Total Lunar Eclipse! by Leslie

Leslie — Tue, 21 Dec 2010 20:23:56 +0000

We lost our chance to see it, thanks to heavy cloud cover… I did see a 6-minute total eclipse in Mexico in 1991, though. Stunning.

Comment on No Love Here by Leslie

Leslie — Thu, 09 Dec 2010 19:04:33 +0000

I spun baby camel (in top and puni form) with Kaye Collins a few years ago. Spun it on a wheel and found it very consistent and enjoyable. Interesting that it was so different in spindle versus charkha.

Comment on Skip Dent Alpaca Scarves by Leslie

Leslie — Wed, 03 Nov 2010 00:02:04 +0000

I love skip dent weaving–will be my next project for sure (and not intimidating to a novice like myself).

Comment on TdF Stages 12,13 by Heather

Heather — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 00:30:02 +0000

I was looking at your TdF spinning and decided I want to be you when I grow up. Between your weaving, which I already knew was awesome, and your spinning, which I now know is equally awesome, I sure have a high level to aspire to!!! Lovely, lovely stuff.

Comment on TdF Stage 4 by Amy

Amy — Thu, 08 Jul 2010 15:29:52 +0000

I’m spinning modified long draw for TdF as well. Yes, speedy, but I have trouble keeping the grist of the singles as fine as you. Mine are more the weight of your 2-ply. Any suggestions?

Comment on TdF Stage 2 – Woohoo! by Amy

Amy — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 15:49:50 +0000

Yummy! And as I would expect from you, very fine. What’s the wpi? Definitely weavable.

My TdF spinning is 2.5 lbs of white over black core roving (Jacob) and I’m spinning it long draw so it’s thicker and fuzzier than my normal spinning. Weird…but FAST! I can fill a bobbin in 3-4 hrs.

Comment on Centuries by Denise

That Tigerwood is so pretty! I was all set on cherry but now…
I guess it’s a good thing I have some time to agonize about it, lol.

Comment on Color Ruts by Denise

Denise — Sat, 03 Jul 2010 04:26:38 +0000

I’ve noticed this too! When I go through my stash I can see my color trends over a 10 year period, in fact I pretty much can tell when I bought something based on the colorway.

It’s good to have friends that make us stretch a bit isn’t it?

Comment on Centuries by Janet

Janet — Sun, 27 Jun 2010 19:09:10 +0000

Very pretty, especially for an espinner. I’m very tempted by this.

Comment on Centuries by Kerry

You’ve got that speed switch cranked up on the lacewood – you must be working on some lace!

Comment on Another Pleated Scarf by Jaya

I love the colors. They remind me of the sea on a cloudy day. Perfect for the Pacific Northwest.

Comment on Another Pleated Scarf by Sharolene

Sharolene — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 20:58:39 +0000

It’s even prettier in person. And you say you aren’t a weaver. I would disagree ). I have yet to even complete my warp that I did in that collapse weave class.

Comment on Another Pleated Scarf by June

June — Thu, 17 Jun 2010 23:13:41 +0000

Oh, Wow. That is so pretty, and I so admire your resolve to make samples first! I am trying to follow your lead on that now.

I love, love, love the scarf!

Comment on Another Pleated Scarf by Jennifer

Jennifer — Wed, 16 Jun 2010 22:07:45 +0000

Pretty scarf!

Actually, Carolina Homespun is the only retailer of the cashmere/silk combed top blend (I include it in the spinning club now and then, but she’s the only one who actually sells it on a regular basis).

I just sent Morgaine another BIG order of it, so she’s well-stocked at the moment, too

and thanks for all the details on your pleating experiments. Finished scarf is beautiful!

Comment on 4 Pleated Samplers and a Scarf by Denise

Denise — Tue, 01 Jun 2010 20:58:21 +0000

I love your finished scarf! Thank you for all the details on your process and sampling. This is great information for me as an aspiring weaver (I can’t really even say I’m a beginner since I haven’t even warped my loom yet).
This is such an inspiration to learn a lot and have the ability to make something like this.

Comment on 4 Pleated Samplers and a Scarf by June

June — Mon, 31 May 2010 12:57:03 +0000

hi there….

I think the JOY scarf turned out nicely. I keep my drafts simple — twills mostly — for their yarn too.

Nice job!

Comment on Sloper by Heather

Heather — Wed, 07 Apr 2010 02:06:51 +0000

OK, I simply covet that sweater. I can’t believe you’re making me want to knit! I don’t like knitting! But I wants one…

Yes, I do love the color! Believe it or not, the color is called Blue Spruce, last seen here http://www.fibermusings.net/archives/1749.

Comment on Weaving Intensive by Barbara

Barbara — Sun, 28 Mar 2010 04:26:01 +0000

Ann, I wish that I had been able to just go with it and trust Judith on the cram and space as you did. I hated the first 12 inches of the first piece so much that I could not face weaving the rest of it off.

I was inspired by your next to last piece and am looking forward to trying the technique in the smaller yarns.

See you soon

Artfibers recommends ironing the golden chai after knitting. It sounds weird, but it really brings out a beautiful shine.

Comment on Creative Euphoria and GTD by Amy

Amy — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 17:06:03 +0000

I have the same problem of coming home with inspiration and ideas that gradually leak out of my head/awareness. Let me know how the GTD list works for you. The trick for me, I think, would be where to keep the list that it doesn’t get buried in the studio which is full to overflowing with inspiration and ideas already.

Comment on Lunch Boxes by Ann

Ann — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 02:06:27 +0000

Thanks for the reference. I haven’t seen that movie in ages. Time to Netflix it!

Comment on Lunch Boxes by Grace

Grace — Thu, 07 Jan 2010 02:00:40 +0000

They were heated in giant pots, suspended over boiling water. They were the same ones used for making the rice and goodie filled things wrapped in leaves (like tamale steamers).

If you watch the movie; Eat, Drink, Man, Woman; you can see the school kitchen lunch scene as they pull the metal containers out of the giant pot.

Comment on New Loom by Amy

Amy — Wed, 06 Jan 2010 16:21:08 +0000

Ooooh, tell me more, tell me more! Fireside looms are beautiful, and well-respected as tools, although I’ve never woven on one myself. Love that you’ve joined the dark side!

Comment on New Vest by Grace

Grace — Tue, 05 Jan 2010 00:00:19 +0000

If you knit narrower shoulders and a deeper armscythe, then you will need less yarn (or have more leftover for a longer vest). You can always knit the CB lower than the sides, too.

I like the vest.

Comment on Wears Like Iron by Jomama

Jomama — Fri, 18 Dec 2009 05:20:49 +0000

I’ve seen sock patterns for the knit-side in on the bottom of the foot, called “princess foot”. I’ll be curious to read it that works out for you.

Comment on Still Here; Homeward Bound by Sharolene

Sharolene — Thu, 15 Oct 2009 17:39:29 +0000

Loved your Picasa photos of your trip especially the underwater pics. They were really incredible. I can’t believe you didn’t take some of them with a professional underwater camera! What an adventure! My experiences with diving weren’t good. I get motion sick really easy and I wind up throwing up more times than not. So it wasn’t worth it for me for the expense.

Comment on Still Here; Homeward Bound by Amy

Amy — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 12:52:10 +0000

Commiserating about the blanket, um, pillow. It’s all John’s fault!

My sweater has gone from a back to an almost-vest in the last week. And I have developed knitter’s elbow as a result. Not sure if I’ll end up with sleeves or not. There’s also the matter of how much yarn I have left. (Not a lot.)

Why is it that we do this to ourselves?

Comment on Blanket Update by Amy

Amy — Tue, 29 Sep 2009 18:19:58 +0000

yes, you’re anal….but adorable. Love your flashcards and spreadsheet. And had to laugh b/c when I picked up the sweater again a week or so ago, after letting it languish since, oh, June, I had the same mental blank on what I was doing. I’m back in the swing of things…and not thinking about how many days until SOAR, or what % of the sweater is done. But I’m re-committed, thanks to you. There’s still a big question about finishing though.
