strained

 the flowy curves are too flowy. maybe if thicker they'd look effortless.  too much background, thicker curves would solve that. going to try brocading the motif and not working selvedge to selvedge. good learning exercise!
 glorious morning walk, the riviulet was singing, the cows were in concert and i saw some goats in a field.  life as is .

choices

 1-1 ratio.

 some warp paint,testing the size of the tie and pattern yarns.  aspect ratio not correct the pattern is elongated. not much contrast between background and pattern in terms of size. linen yarns tie down yarn some left over merino cashmere wool bobbin.

better here. background is heavier than tiedown yarn. also changed colors and the pattern stands out better.DUH. infinite warp paint possibilities.
changed the tie down yarn to 20/1 cotton.

on a closer look..

having so much fun i didn't do my morning walk

minor bugs. except that the highly twisted linen warp behaved.

bugs fixed and already printing the warp.
time flies when hands are busy.

bear with me

but coming from the med waking up to see this without driving anywhere is really something. first snow in the mountains.

 and now back to business

 short narrow linen warp, about 400 threads 2xdent in a 10x cm reed.

still thinking about pattern. i am going to study alice's lampas monograph now that chaos is in relative order now.
my only option now is the 12 sha. table loom, but i can make the constraints work.

stars

been inside because of rainy weather. such a change in weather,  first snow on the mountains! 

knitting sample converted. bad photo.

a fabric patch and then some plastic cord like those used by kids to make bracelets.add some hand stitching and it becomes playful.thinking about pattern on pattern.
