Swedish Lace Curtain
Started weaving my kitchen curtains. Had to make some adjustments to the pattern but like it.
It will be interesting how the center comes out.....
This goes really fast with my End delivery shuttle. Love it!

Black Friday without shopping.......
Want an alternative to shopping on Black Friday? Why not restore old rugs. I have 2 faded out cotton rugs which I pained with dye.
started out with old cotton rug |
used a brush to paint the dye on |
this on with stripes |
after a day, I had to rinse them out |
after washing machine & dryer to set the color |
dog loves this one..... |

Towel from cotton and linen |
Can't stop weaving curtains
Next pair are for my kitchen. The pattern is: Swedish Lace.
I decided I prefer the 4 harness loom. Less mistakes to be made then on a 8 harness loom.
I wanted to finish these curtains before christmas but now I doubt that will happen.
Last night I was opening up mistakes again and rethreading........
You see the stripe in the middle - didn't want to rethread, so I just changed the pattern a bit. It is in the center and can be seen as the pattern and not a mistake. These I weave at SSA.
