Norse Kitchen In Blue

Day 167: One of the most enjoyable aspects of warping for several iterations of a project (for example, towels) is that you can change up the colour every time. As much as I liked the lavender version of Norse Kitchen, I did want to create something more traditionally Scandinavian. I'm not particularly fond of red, so although it's arguably found more often, blue at least runs a close second. I've warped for three large towels, and haven't quite decided on what the last one will be.

My table loom sits on a makeshift platform on top of an old desk, the drawers of which are handy for holding shuttles and other assorted tools of the trade out of reach of inquiring kitty hands. I weave on it standing up, partly because the desk was too high even without the addition of the plywood, but more because I want something to do which doesn't involve sitting in a chair. Shifting my weight from foot to foot isn't exactly aerobic exercise, but with the weather we've been having lately, walking or hiking has been out of the question. That said, some day, I hope to replace Schacht with a 25-30" floor loom, although the likelihood of that happening is fairly small.
