Finally got my first overshot scarf done! There's some hilarious evidence of me finding the right beat from one end to the last. I'm really loving Shetland yarn after lots of fulling and I'm hoping this next week will be chilly enough for scarves. Thinking of what to do next

A scarf woven with gold warp and weft, overshot with the Blooming Leaves of Mexico design, hanging to dry from a shower curtain rod next to air drying dresses Two ends of a woven gold colored scarf with the Blooming Leaves of Mexico design spread over a loom. The beginning repeat is about twice the length of the last repeat The last bit of warp from the previous two images. This extra piece is a single repeat of Blooming Leaves of Mexico done with green Shetland yarn instead of gold, in order to better demonstrate the pattern A messy cozy living room focusing on a LeClerc Artisat loom sitting in the corner, backdropped by sheer gold curtains. Behind the loom hangs an illustration of a Purepecha woman spinning maguey into yarn

I'm trying overshot for the first time?? This is terrifying?? This is half of Blooming Leaf of Mexico, from the Green Book™️. Successfully pulling off overshot makes me feel like Sophie from HMC. I literally understood how overshot works in a dream, so this is pretty sick.

POV picture of the Blooming Leaf of Mexico overshot design at a 4-shaft LeClerc Artist loom. Half of a repeat is woven. The ground yarn is 2/20 wool in a gold color, and the pattern yarn is Shetland wool in gold as well

Sitting and trying to stay sane. I was gifted a copy of Davison's pattern book by my favorite auntie, which I hilariously already had a copy of. Mine was printed in 1958 while the newer one was printed in 75. I'm just appreciating weaving, and the long line of weavers that I follow after

Got a new project on my loom faster than ever before, because I finally decided to put my warp board on a wall! Making a Monsters Inc poncho for my boyfriend :3 Mike Wazowski green and Sully Blue in a simple twill pattern. I even remembered to hemstitch this time
