Re: 2024 Stash & Grab Virtual Pub
Thought I'd come in a dust, polish some glasses, tidy up the broken crockery destress suite. It's been very quiet on the forum lately. How's everyone doing? I'm now set up to start a small weaving for my summer course and then there's the garden. But I'm still beavering away at my daily stitch (thou...

You definitely don't want to take the chance on getting in a muddle with this tricksy piece!

Re: Serinde lives up to her name update 30 Apr 2024
And because I am doing this online course, in preparation, I decided to divide all my tapestry wools into one of 24 colour categories and store them that way. Easier to find different colour palettes. (I purchased this useful thing years ago: https://www.handweavers.co.uk/ultimate-3in1-color-tool-jo...

Re: 2024 Deliveries & Stash Acquisition
I remember my first few meetings with my present Guild, and feeling like I didn't really want a lecture on a Saturday morning. But each session's programme is different. Ours is now a better balance of hands-on and talks, especially because tech allows us to tap into interesting professionals whom w...

Re: 2024 Deliveries & Stash Acquisition
Arrietty is gorgeous!! Before you do anything further (like buy stuff) find your local Guild of Weavers, Spinners and Dyers (wsd.org.uk) and join it. There you are likely to be able to initially borrow kit as well as pick the brains of like-minded folk. I’ve just started spindle spinning… another ra...

Aw, thank you so much. It’s such an interesting exercise. I find myself paying more attention to my surroundings, and I enjoy the serendipitous nature of the whole thing.

Re: Serindë's Stitching adventure 2024 11 May
I’m using Caron Wildflowers “Aurora” (043) to stitch… the aurora (not that I saw more than the streams of particles — looked like clouds but wrong — too straight. This is in the stitch journal. I’m using long (2in) strands, a sort of satin stitch, which keeps the colors together well, but I still ha...

Re: Serinde lives up to her name update 30 Apr 2024
It could be all these things!
I'm now embarking on a Summer of Tapestry online course (runs until July, although the platform is available "forever"), and as it happens the theme this year is an exploration of colour. Serendipity, I call it.

Looks really neat. Good thing you like all that ironing and (presumably) buttonhole stitch! ( )

Ha! never could tell my left from my right (which is why I only ever wear one ring; suspect I'm actually ambidextrous, with a slightly more dominant right hand).

Re: Serinde lives up to her name update 30 Apr 2024
And I was trying to find combinations of colours that might represent clouds. Colours are tricksy things: all you can hope for is to capture that one brief moment.

Re: Serindë's Stitching adventure 2024 1 May
It really is an eye of faith thing, but look at the April image and find the harp towards the top. Now go down slightly to your left, where the arch is. It's not an arch, of course, but the back of the island's hill. There is the larger seal (I know, I know), and in the "water" there are (...
