and now pixel fun

i knew i had it, i found it but i needed instructions on how to. alice's schleins crepe creation action for photoshop.yesterday i spent the whole morning perusing her blog  not that it was a chore mind you.it's  veritable a delight and there's so much information! alice, one of the sages of the tribe, has given a lot to the weaving community, we all would be less than half way of where we are now.  looking through the blog i was reminded that i am, above all and despite all my detours, a weaver.

 this particular project i want simple the yarns will speak as i wanted a textured fabric in the crepe range.alice had created a crepe making action which runs in photoshop . the image is then taken to the weaving software and this will tell you the treadling.

a rabbit hole, i warn you.

these are just a few. still have to go through fiberworks and see how they weave. 

here's  the link to the page where the action, pattern preset and the how to are located.forget about the laundry and have some fun. 

you're welcome  <(￣︶￣)>

opportunity cost

in this method is high not very economical as there are extra steps and movements.the reed hung on the back has to be threaded. once threaded the wind up starts.the advantage is that the threads warp in precise order as they were picked up from the back  cross.no twists ,no breakage.once beamed the  front cross is passed behind the reed and secured, then the reed is taken out and the threading commences. after that the rest is standard procedure,threading,reeding and tying. 

 look at my faithful knitting weights working hard.

albeit the extra steps i like it,kind of, as

all those threads wind in their corresponding places. it is especially adequate for thin silks whether springy or not.

beauty shot. i have another warp in mind and will repeat to ,as a knitter friend says, proof the concept.
