Blog o tkanju i moj vikend projekt....

Evo i mene sa blogom........

Dakle, zahvaljujuci Jani koja me nedavno priupitala zasto ne napravim blog o tkanju, malo potrudila, nesto namucila, i odlucila i sama nauciti i napraviti blog.

Ovaj sam vikend neplanirano napravila ne jednu, ne dvije, nego tri kape.
Sve je pocelo vrlo nevino, e-mailom i malim pitanjem moje prve uciteljice tkanja da sudjelujem sa svojom idejom u razvoju nove knjizice (booklet) za najnoviji i najmanji od tkalackih stanova. Nakon nesto razmisljanja to tome sta da napravim sto drugi nisu (a svi su drugi uglavnom rade sal, pa uzi sal, pa siri sal, pa torbu duzu ili kracu), sjetim se da jos nikad nisam primijetila jednu stvar. Hladno me subotnje jutro me inspiriralo da napravim - kapu.

Izmjerila sam dvije glave, izracunala da je prosjecno oko 60cm dosta bilo muska ili zenska kapa poveselila se da duljina treba biti svega 60cm, u osnovu stavila ostatke vune koju sam lani ili preklani sama prela u boji cokolade i narandzasto, a za potku sam pronasla klupko "kid mohair" vune koje se vec dulje vremena povlacilo po mom vunenom sklonistu, i za nesto manje od dva sata imala istkan komad materijala kojem sam povezala "frandze", a vrh spojila vunenom niti, raspitala se na forumu kako se radi coflek (probni sam napravila, ali ovi pravi koji idu na moje kape jos nisu gotovi).

Thanks to Jana who has recently asked me why don’t I make a weaving blog, I have taken a bit of time, suffered a little learning how do make it and finally prepared it myself.

This past weekend, totally unplanned, I have made not one, not two, but three hats. Everything started innocently, with an email from my first weaving teacher to contribute with my idea in development of a new booklet for the newest and smallest of the weaving looms - "Knitters Loom". After a bit of thinking what to make what the others did not make yet (since everyone makes a scarf, longer scarf, narrow scarf, bag longer or shorter), I realized that I have not seen one thing. Chilly Saturday morning going by bicycle to the bakery inspired my to make a – HAT.
Measured two heads, came up with app. 60cm diameter which should be enough for both a male and a female hat. I warped the loom with the remains of some wool that I span myself last or a year before – chocolate and orange colour. For the weft I found a ball of “Kid Mohair” that is for a longer time sitting around in my wool storage, and in a little less than two hours I was ready with a piece of woven fabric. Connected the fringes, put the top of one side together with the woollen thread, asked on the weaving forum how to make a pom-pom (which I made but did not attach to the hat yet).
