This Skeave thing.
Skeaving is a real timesaver when it comes to my need to weave.
And it so much reinforces the idea of weave as stitch.
I forgot when I started that I need an odd number of warps sketched to make this work, so I added an extra somewhere along the line, to have over and under alternate.
It's a basket and it spins, it's feeling good. The leaf, well any small motif floating around can seem like a dot.
To let you know, a lot of my time is being consumed at the moment so I am most likely to be on Instagram for a while, because it is easier and I can post without being home, and that's the way it is right now.
A needle and thread can do so many things… can it build a boat?
Let me consider that.
Floating sounds good.
I was expecting “As the WEATHER Turns”…because who knows anymore. We’re on excessive heat warnings and fire danger, some already burning (close but not too close). Still with August-October to look forward to…maybe I’m more spinning than floating.
The colors of this cloth are so calming, quiet. Quiet feels good.
Somehow I need calm…
I wondered about your weather. We too here are heating up but no heat warnings along the coast yet. August and September ahead as you say…
Thank you for the skeaving process photos. I have been wanting to weave, but I don’t want a big project. I can try this.
Exactly, will try to do some videos.
Stitching is good for the going💙 stay dry and well.
dry, ha, more rain on the way, New York is floating.
That skeaving circle looks a bit like a magical, otherworldly rose!
it does!
What a delightful palette of dots…all on the most comfortable blanket I have ever seen…
I think it will become bigger.
I was wondering about dots in a basket shape and the skeaving! Skeaving roles off the tongue so nicely.
I like the sound too.
Love the leaf motif ( well, that’s fun to say! 😉) And I STILL need to skeave-weave…

I’d let “most of my time being consumed” just like that, too, if I were so lucky!!
Hope the weather doesn’t cause more havoc for you, yesterday was crazy rainy most of the day…I started to feel a little stir-crazy ( well, more than usual, Ha!!)
Not raining (yet) this a.m., so I’m going to get out of the house for awhile…
Hey! I was cleaning a drawer yesterday, and found 3 (THREE!) cards w some of your little Threadcrumbs!!
Oh JOY!! 🩵🪡
I’ll start there….
