Don't know if I have asked this beforeDon't know if I have asked this beforeAnyone do Swedish Weaving ?
I saw a lady on the ship doing it and it was really lovely. Got a book about it today, from the States as none here. But I think I will try it when I have finished all my cross stitch. That maybe about 2020 http://www.busheyk9.co.uk
If you can't be a good example........ you will just have to be a horrible warning
Re: Don't know if I have asked this beforeI have neven even heard of it Wendy, so am intrigued to know how it is different from ordinary weaving.
You must make a small sample and show us. I am now a widow and live with my memories.
Re: Don't know if I have asked this beforeI am not going to do it until I have finished my cross stitch. Although I desparately want to
Here is a photo from the internet. You sew on top of the material, rather than right the way through. So it isn't weaving as such. I thought Ali might know it. http://www.busheyk9.co.uk

Re: Don't know if I have asked this beforeI have some Norwegian textiles that belonged to my grandmother which use a similar technique I think. I'll try to find them and take some photographs.

Re: Don't know if I have asked this beforeThanks for the pic Wendy. You are so good with the needle, so are bound to make something lovely. I like the denseness of the pattern and haven't seen anyone else do it.
