Jane takes us along as she explores the endless possibilities of M's & O's layered with Huck and Colour and Weave. This is the place to share your thoughts, questions and what you create on this journey.

How exciting that Season 8 is starting! I watched a little last night as soon as it came out. Now I need to watch "Ponyo". I love Totoro the most of all Miyazaki's movies I watched so far but haven't watched Ponyo yet.

I was thinking about the shifting threads in the log-cabin PW-ish. Would sleying 1 per dent make a difference?

Really enjoyed the M's & O's on a 2nd date. I might put on a 3rd warp of the same structure.

Hi Amanda, the threads aren’t shifting in the pw’ish….to get the closest thing we can with this threading you end up with 3 ends that weave perfect plain weave and then the next 2 weave together….it really is a beautiful texture :)

I signed up in late november and have used the time to take a crash course on all the aspects of weaving I wasn't so sure about or hadn't tried yet. I have learned so much, not least that it really is possible to wind the warp five ends at a time, and that using my fingers to thread rather than the hook is, for me too, much quicker.
I pitched in at season 7 and made 3 tea towels. Then Season 8, (using 8/2 cotton leftovers and hemp and linen for the weft) I wove a sampler, then a bag. This seemed quite daunting at first - it does need concentration and constant counting, but all becomes easier to manage as it gets more familiar, and then goes quite quickly.
Now - can anyone tell me how to upload two images? I can't find the topic in the help section.

Very nice Ann,

If you choose the image type with "url" in it, it will post here as the actual photo, instead of a link.

Thanks - I'll try that next time.

I enjoyed this texture very much. I am obsessed with making Gamp ...Used cotton. I was not sure what I should do with it. Kitchen towel is not very popular in Japan. At least, within my small circles of friends. Sewed several gamp together and made two towel blankets.

I made 2 cushion covers with 8/2cotton for my summer house. Oh my! I found very similar one by Beth on upper thread. Anyway. 8/2 cotton in 16 epi sett is very soft for cushion covers. BUT, shu cares? I love the touch.

Snap, Musmikosaka! Good job. Aren't they fun to weave.

I am weaving the sample towels for this episode and I'm enjoying the weaving very much. I love the end result. However, I have noticed a couple of things:
1. Towel number 4 is not symmetrical. The last part of 3 blocks Natural is missing both in the sample and in the instructions. I decided to add them
2. I was very puzzled by the deep hems 2.5" of PW-ish and 2.5" of DL (D). I have been doing this. But today as I was scrolling through the PDF looking for something else, I noticed that on Pg 9 it says that 'All hems were woven 1 ½” PW’ish". Why are the hems so deep? Is that a typo?
