Terri is doing a virtual Saori Kai- which is a gathering to show and share what you've been weaving. Normally in person, but a change of plans allowed for those of us from farther away to participate as well.
I had made a warp around Christmas time to do two scarves for a friend in different blue colour schemes, and had a bit of the warp left that I wasn't sure what it would become. I had been working on loose weaving a couple of times and when I started it sort of came naturally to play with that a bit more. I started with the darker yarn at the very end and then switched to the lighter yarn for the loose bits and back and forth.
I wove without any plan, or looking at it along the way. I found it interesting afterward that as I wove, each loose section was a bit longer... Terri and I had talked about loose weaving as a way of remembering to allow more space and time in your life and during the time I was weaving, my life was especially full of 'goings on" so perhaps the weaving was trying to tell me something. :-)
Working with just the two yarns, back and forth, started to feel like waves...
To hang it, I mounted a piece of east coast driftwood at either end, brought in by the tides...
Stitched close up...
Up close...
I call it Ebb and Flow. It reminds me that things come and go, and that there is a cycle. And that I have to balance the busy and the calm.
