Weaving eye

The little weaving is off the pipe loom and finished. Lots of fun. I don’t know what’s going on with the unevenness of the borders, especially at the bottom. But I’m pleased to be using up bits and scraps of yarn and making something coherent out of it. I planned out the symmetry, not totally successful, but close enough. I’m really liking the skinny stripes in the center, although this was a mistake. They were supposed to be little vertical stripes (“pick and pick” technique). The term “pick and pick” finally makes sense to me. And now I know how to make skinny horizontal stripes as well.

Something about weaving feels very challenging to my brain. I always scored lower on “spatial relationships” tests, doing much better at more abstract efforts like words and numbers. I find making pictures out of lots of horizontal passes mind-blowing.

I have some yarns picked out for another one.

Walked yesterday. A bit of sunlight lit up a patch of the shore across the water. Theatrical. As I look at these, I’m thinking about horizontalness and symmetry. The photos have horizontal stripes, but design is not symmetrical. Weaving eye is developing.
