Summer and Winter uses four warp threads for each unit of design. This means that you can create designs by building up blocks of pattern against a background cloth. Weavezine explains it well … “Summer and Winter is a block weave.
#Weaveit loom update
I owe you several blogs, for example an update on the 2023 temperature blanket, the next customer projects showcase, more info for the Garment WAL, but how do I explain this blog? … You can call it a confession of an addict.įellow pin-loom weaver Glorian posted a picture of the cutest little purse that she discovered at a thrift store, and she added that she bought it because it reminded her of pin-loom weaving.Ī closer look at this stunning little treasure revealed that it is a “summer and winter” pattern, something that has enchanted “big loom” weavers for centuries. The certificate will mention your name and the unique badge number. For example, my husband will probably never weave and assemble 100 hexagons, but he got the very first badge because he patiently endures me and all the looms! If you know of a person who you think deserves an honorary badge, please contact us with your suggestion! We also have a small number of “honorary” badges to give to people who are dedicated TURTLE fans and deserve recognition just for that.
There is no time limit … we will grant the badges until we run out. We have a little over 400 badges to grant.
Upon acceptance, we will send you a Weaving Buddy pin that we have made just for this purpose and a certificate that confirms your accomplishment. We will ask for your permission to post your project picture(s) here on this website on the Weaving Buddy Wall (we will set that up when we receive the first submissions). We will ask you to send us photos that we can add to the Weaving Buddy Wall here on this site and a little info about which looms and yarns you used. Contact us when you are readyand we will discuss the details. Your count may include regular and elongated hexagons of any size as well as jewels. This could be a single project, for example a garment or a blanket, or multiple projects that add up to at least 100 hexagons/jewels. You have woven at least 100 hexagons and/or jewels and turned them into a finished project. The same projects can be worked on the fine sett looms, and even a mix-and-match.įor more grape-spiration, check out the grape table topper in “Easy Weaving with Little Looms” 2018 and the Grape Pillow project in this blog post. These projects are beginner friendly and versatile … You can use a broad variety of yarns (cotton and wool are just examples). I used simple whipstitch and the tail ends for the sewing. Sew hexagons to hexagons together into rows first, then connect rows to rows. Use the following chart when you arrange the hexagons. For the table runner, weave sixteen hexagons in grape color, four hexagons for the leaves, and nineteen hexagons for the background. For a coaster, weave eight hexagons in grape color, and two hexagons for the leaves. Here are the Instructions for Both Projects I wet finished the table runner, but it could also be fulled. Lore in shades Wise (grapes), Ambitious (leaves), and Spiritual (background) for the sample. This grape table runner is a slightly larger project, but still easy-to-make on the Original TURTLE Loom R-regular sett. You just need one ball of those two colors to make one bottle and several glass coasters. I used Queensland Collection Costal Cotton yarn in 1034 Concord and 1042 Seaweed to make the samples. If you follow the same pattern but use the Original TURTLE Loom™ R-regular sett, it will make a coaster for a bottle (center). A grape cluster coaster, worked on the TinyTURTLE loom R-regular sett, makes a coaster size that is just right for a wine glass.
