This set of 3 towels is not yet finished, even though it was started over 2 months ago. Soon after putting this on the Newcomb, we left town for Montana. I have been busy on other projects and will post those as soon as I get around to taking the photos. I hope to get a chance to finish the Cat Tracks towels later this month. The towels are weaving up nicely, but in the pattern areas, two strands of 8/2 cotton is required. I have been winding a single shuttle with double strands which doesn't always feed through evenly. Gary recently made a double shuttle for me, which solves this problem. I can't wait to finish up these towels with the new double shuttle.

Notes
Hey Pat,
ReplyDeleteI love this pattern. Would you share the weaving draft with me?
Claudia - the design came from Handwoven Design Collection 18 on 4 shaft towels. It is also in Davison's book called Wandering Vine. Sorry, but I didn't create a WIF file for the towels.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful ! and love the color you used.
