and when life became too frenzied

she took up her knitting and breathed a while

to the rhythm of the stitches

and rows until her smile returned

and her mind was calm

Stitches West 2016

Posted on March 1, 2016 by Eileen Lee Posted in Uncategorized

Stitches 2016Stitches West was so much fun.  We spent two FULL days.  Clearly, we had to take a picture with Stephen West.    Stitches continues to feature plenty of weaving and spinning displays as well as the many kitting demonstrations.    Three of my favorite booths are:

DanDoh Designs – Yumiko Alexander is a designer of a line of knitting and crochet patterns marked and published under the business name “DanDoh” located in Chandler Arizona.  She started selling her designs in Japan before moving to the US.  DanDoh means Warm Earth.   The yarns are beautiful linens, cotton, wool  and cashmere.  Her shawl designs are particularly attractive.

Red Fish Dyeworks is a small company that dyes silk and silk blend yarn, fiber and fabric by hand.  This is one of my favorite booths to visit.  I always make a point to buy the silk 20/2 for weaving.  It is difficult to make a decision on what colors to choose.  There is too much to pick from.

Fiberlady – Fine Bamboo Fibers & Yarns  – I love to weave with the Luxury Bamboo yarnb sett at 30 epi.  They sell several bamboo and bamboo blends yarns and fiber.  There are many colors to choose from.

Weaving Using Hand Painted Warps

Posted on February 2, 2016 by Eileen Lee Posted in Weaving Class

I’m starting a new shawl where I first painted the rayon/cotton warp.  There are three painted and one solid warp.  I plan to stripe up and then weave using a very thin weft yarn so the project will be warped faced.  The set is 24 epi.  We’ll see the progress together.  Looks like a mess right now, but it will all work out

Prayer Shawl

Posted on March 18, 2015 by Eileen Lee Posted in Weaving Class

2015-03-31 14.46.56I wove a prayer shawl for a dear friend who is very, very sick.  She tends to like natural colours so we have a black, brown, moss green, ecru and a dark purple.  It is a colour block twill.

New Weavers

Posted on February 28, 2015 by Eileen Lee Posted in Weaving Class

A perfect rainy day for learning how to weave.  Becky and Carol were taught how to weave today.  There projects are great!  It is so much fun to see the excitement of people learning a new skill.2015-02-28 14.55.50 2015-02-28 14.56.39 2015-02-28 14.56.50
