slowly she turned

Finished Jorge I, after playing chicken with the very last of that old kelly green Paternayan crewel yarn from a needlepoint project in the 70s that I saved from my mother’s house when we cleaned it out. Part of my designing for this class was to try to use up some of this stuff. It’s a little fuzzier than I would like to use in a larger weaving, but in good enough quality to use for these little samples.

Then I went back to Jorge II to weave more of that pick-and-pick background. I’ll weave it until I either run out of yarn or reach about the same size as Jorge I. I’ve learned from this one – I haven’t woven pick-and-pick technique to the edges before, and my edges expanded as I wove. But I have plans, sort of, for the two of these that will take care of the problem of the messy edges.
