PREVIEW SCARF 44

The weaving of number 44 is done,
but it still needs a lot of work...
I hope I will complete 44 before 2010! :-)
Have good fun at New Years Eve,
and a swell 2010!

SCARF 43






The biggest scarf ever!
Very chunky and soft.
Strong graphics,
for someone cheerful :-)
(boy or girl)
I had to split up my weft
to create two colours of
pied-de-poule next to each other.

Measurements: 31 cm x 220 cm
Materials: alpaca, cotton, wool, acryl, synthetic yarns

For sale at the Quartier Bricoléshop
or you can mail me.

WEAVE PAUZE





I have a wrist problem :-)
Haven't woven for a week,
but here you can see a part of scarf 43.
Plus: my book of Alexander Girard,
happy textiles!
Not weaving gives me more time to
read about how to make fabrics.
So that's okay :-)

PREVIEW SCARF 43



Orange, gray and white,
thank you André Courreges :-)
I'm sticking to the houndstooth technique,
will add some surprise to it!
But first setting up my loom.

SCARF 42





Scarf 42 is the longer sister of 41,
because it is woven on the same warp.
I used more flashy colours,
to make a difference.

Measurements: 24 cm x 220 cm
Materials: wool, alpaca, acryl, cotton, synthetic yarns

For sale at the Quartier Bricoléshop,
or you can mail me.

SCARF 41







Pied-de-poule or houndstooth...
This scarf was ordered by a male friend,
and I tought big pied-de-poules would fit him perfectly!
It has a lot of black and grey,
with little yellow, orange and red accents.
Made with a lot of friendship :-)

Measurements: 24 x 180 cm
Materials: wool, alpaca, cotton, synthetic yarns

INHERITANCE




When my brother-in-law's grandmother died,
I inhereted a little tin box,
containing her sewing material.
Forgot all about it, till today.
My favourite object is the pincushion on the first picture.
It's so naive and sweet...

THE MAKING OF 39






Technique: Swedish Lace. 
(That's literally translated from Dutch,
don't know if it's the right term)
It's getting cold, 
people should wear more scarves :-)
