circular weaving

a little fibery something something:

i’ve been wanting to try circular weaving since i saw these circular woven pieces on nothing is new. the idea is really neat and ridiculously simple, and seemed like a good way to use up random bits of yarn (of which i have ridiculous amounts). read on that site that kelly referenced the book weaving without a loom when making hers…so i bopped over to amazon and scored a cheap copy of said book. finally got around to trying out weaving in this way today. i’ve basically got it, just have to work out some kinks in understanding the method and how to finish it, but generally i think it’s pretty badass and hooboy, it gives me a lot of ideas!

p.s. this blog post about circular weaving seems helpful, in case the notion of such things intrigues you as well…

    That looks really cool, especially with the vivid colors! Looks like a good way to brighten up winter blues.

    I’m so glad you made this. So beautiful! And I need that book. It was only on loaner to me.
