I belong to the Jockey Hollow Weavers who meet in Mendham NJ, http://www.jockeyhollowweavers.org/ . June 1 is our last meeting before the summer and until September. We usually have some sort of exchange, and I have really learned a lot over the past few years of participating. This year, it’s dishtowels and the theme is complimentary colors. It took a while for me to think outside the box of primary red and bright green or Easter yellow and purple. In my cottolin stash (one of my screaming deals that I am desperately trying to weave through; it’s never-ending) I found turquoise and rust and brown and navy. Cool! I found a draft in an old issue of Weaver’s Journal, conveniently available on line at http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/periodicals/wj_41.pdf. The weaving is simple, the results are pretty, and it looks like I’ll make the June 1 deadline. Back to work, I have 2 1/2 more towels to go!
