Thanks Cheryl, good to know they will stand up.
I will show photos. What all my colours have in common is that they don't match. Don't know if that's enough😂
I think I can take them off the loom this week but I don't dare cutting them immediately. My sewing machine is being repaird and won't be back till mid of may.
I am just starting on my weaving journey. I bought a 50 year old loom earlier this year and have started watching Jane's videos. I have been weaving a small sample. I would post a picture, but I don't know how.
Welcome to the "rabbit hole" we call weaving 😀 You can find out how to post photos by going to the top of this page, and in the banner across the top, click Resources. Once there - click on Forum and you will find a post that will give you directions on how to post your photo.
Cheryl - I love the napkins.
Thanks Kathleen !!
Cheryl and I finished our little "weave-along" and here is mine.

What are you using for warp and weft on your "weave along"? Looks like fun. Here's today's towel in turned twill. I'm still obsessed with season 5 and 6.

Kit, we used Harrisville Shetland. I loved Jane's original colors and used those. Deb showed her artist chops and made her beautiful version.
I have two photos, one shows the two shawls I wove, pre-wet finish. Feels like stiff burlap. The other photo shows Shawl #1 post-wet finish. Lovely and lofty. Phew, it took a lot of wash bowls of soapy water to get the water clean. I am waiting to wet finish shawl #2 until I bring them to my May weaving groups so folks can see the before and after. Heads up, if anyone decides to follow the pattern instructions, I warped as instructed for 2 shawls (6 yards), but made my warp narrower by 2 inches. After weaving #1, I could tell I would NOT have enough yarn left for the 2nd shawl. I had a cone of cream Harrisville Shetland in my stash and used it to add some weft stripes to make the original colors last for the 2nd shawl. I ran out of the original White and replaced with Cream at about half way through, completely used up the Suede color, and had a little bit of the Goldenrod color left on the bobbin. I used 3 bobbins of Cream.

Hi Yvonne! What a beautiful start!
Great towel Kit, looks like 3D!
Deb and Cheryl, so cozy blankets! It's rainy and windy here, would like to grap one of them!
Matches perfectly your duvet cover Cheryl.
I love that feeling of 3D in turned twill. Nice to see all you enjoying your time at the loom, challenging to finish projects. I'm heading to the studio today to get the towel I posted above finished, then I'll cut off 4 towels and "finish" the fabric, washing, hemming, 2nd wash and shipping. I'm also making some bobbin holders for looms. i love woodworking too!
I'd love to see the bobbin holders when your done.
Deb and Cheryl - The shawls look great. I hope to make this pattern one day. But, now I can't decide which color combo to do!
I had that problem, Kathleen. I lined up different combinations from my stash and kept changing my mind. 🙄🤣
In the end, I Googled Ruckle Beach and that was how I decided on forest and sea colors of Salt Spring Island. 😉
