i just bought my first piece of monks cloth,and 2 skeins of yarn to try to make a baby blanket. i have until December for the new grandson to get here..so lots of time to check this out.
not much in the way of booklets or info on it at Joanns. the pattern i am going to try is "Baby Baubles" by Jean Leinhauser . |
Should be very pretty. I am sure you will post pictures of WIP.

How fun! I loved watching my BF's Mom make these. She had booklets that she got from her MIL. :D:D:D
|
It will be sooo beautiful. Be sure to post pictures. I can't wait to see it.

my friend told me to sew around the edges, then wash and dry it to preshrink the monks cloth. |
I have only seen it as a trim on dish cloths............my friend in Harrison Mi used to do it..........calla

OK, I had no idea what this was.
http://nettiesneedleworks.com/index.htm Looks like you could easily create your own graphics and stitch those. Very interesting. Learn something new everyday. Thanks for posting it. |
that's kinda cool. I might try it to make some tea towels.

Love doing Swedish weaving. Made afghan took a while but well worth it.

I am slow getting started, but start I did!
Using variegated and Chocolate yarns...it is very relaxing... i don't need another hobby..but i like doing this. It will be a blanket for the Grandson due in December..i call him "Henry"..they can call him what they want! Swedish Weave Heart Pattern [ATTACH=CONFIG]265374[/ATTACH] Mt teacher,made me a sampler to follow,because we could not find a pattern. [ATTACH=CONFIG]265375[/ATTACH] |
that is really nice. How do you make the design - weaving the colored yarn through the fabric? What kind of fabric do you start with? Really nice.
|
Monks cloth. i got it at Joanns. they only carry white and ecru. 60 wide. back in the day..they used Huck Toweling, it was done on kitchen towels and other items..
yes, yarn..weaving in between the sticks or threads . let me see if i can find the tutorial i started out with..it was very clear.

That looks great. On the WEB there is an embroidery site called 'HERSCHNERS". They have so much needlework. (I hope that is spelled correct.)
Thanks for posting your tutes and sites, I think I can do this! |
They great think about google or search engines, is it "knows what you meant" lol
i have been to their site, lots of beautiful items..but no monks cloth or anything or swedish weaving. they have a huck towel set..but i think you use Emb Floss on that one.

Would I be able to get your patterns with the hearts. They are very beautiful. I am making a blanket for my granddaughter? Thanks for your prompt reply.

My mother called it Huck Weaving.

I was gifted with a piece done by a scruffy little 79 year old farmer in ND, one of my fav things, the other piece was called (sp) hardanger, he did such lovely work, just beautiful!
