June 2020 Show & Tell

We have work from four weavers and one knitter this month. Since our meeting is virtual, thanks for the photos and captions goes to the artists.

Sherron: This month I took Chris Acton’s class on plain weave. I put on a 3yd warp of 5/2 cotton set @ 12 epi. I had so much fun playing with a variety of wefts. Thanks, Chris, for expanding my plain weave!
Margaret: This is a shawl Margaret wove for her daughter in Hawaii. It is undulating twill woven with silk (and it’s quite heavy). She thinks she bought the silk at Midwest at Purdue about 20 some years ago.

This is a baby blanket Margaret wove for Guild member Pam’s new granddaughter. The weave is an 8-shaft overshot woven in cotton and cottolin. Note the different pattern on the back. She also wove a small doll blanket or burp/changing cloth to match.
Mary: This is a baby blanket made of 90 pin loom squares using Lily’s Sugar n’ Cream cotton yarn. It is for a baby boy due any time now! The squares that look like plaid are actually variegated yarn that patterned on their own to look like a plaid.
Sue: I knit this baby sweater for my newest great niece. (She’s a cutie!)
