Somebody was showing a plainweave baby blanket at a one of our guild meetings and several people asked what the structure was - it was plainweave with tracking and added a lot of depth to the piece.Sharon Schulzehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07697870972304497221noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-55731386138705728382009-11-17T17:00:30.389-08:002009-11-17T17:00:30.389-08:00Well, Laura, I just really love that plain weave p...Well, Laura, I just really love that plain weave piece, and it does not look plain at all. It has a great deal of personality. Or perhaps it is that each has a great deal of personality, but I prefer the personality of one over the other! <br />Good post about speed and efficiency.<br />As for computer designing. yes the software is wonderful and allows us to explore virtually all sorts of stuff. But what the novice weaver needs to realize is that the software does not do away with all the on-loom trials and testings, as both you and Tien so well know! Besides, that's where the fun really starts!Peg in South Carolinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07886923838871937466noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-537158321255176863.post-12061506718270841522009-11-17T13:42:29.861-08:002009-11-17T13:42:29.861-08:00Amen to that!
The first time I heard anything, er...Amen to that!<br /><br />The first time I heard anything, er, believable? about using weaving software was when Sigrid Piroch visited Stockholm in... 1985? (well, *ages* ago). She said just that: the computer was helping her being a better designer, because she had the time to make so many more "tries" without using too much time drafting them by hand. Made perfect sense then - makes perfect sense now!Kerstin på Spinnhusethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01417606744435651656noreply@blogger.com
