stick your fingers in

Last week's weaving lesson. (I am not the lovely blonde). It got me to thinking about weaving much more. Over the weekend I was tempted to wind a warp, but I don't think I'd even get it threaded before I go away. So I got out this instead, from several years ago:

It's cotton gauze, 2x2 alternating crossings. Apparently I was experimenting with patterning with holes, by switching from 2x2 to 1x1 and back. One of the nice things about working with gauze is that the threads are widely spaced, so changing sheds takes no effort, in contrast to woolen warp-faced fabrics.
