I design weaving patterns for all looms. I specialize in freeform overshot & twill pick up patterns. Read Freeform Overshot for Beginners 🌀 #FiberArt #TextileArt #FiberArtist #Weaving #HandWoven #LoomWeaving #overshot 🧶 #slowfashion #bskyweavers #RigidHeddleWeaving #OvershotWeaving #WeavingPatterns
My newest freeform overshot scarf, inspired by bogolan mud cloth designs.
But blue sky, sunshine and the ocean help a lot.
Forgot to mention that I have severe arthritis in multiple joints, including my feet/toes. And osteoarthritis is mast cell mediated. The “wear and tear only” belief is a minimization myth 🦓 #EhlersDanlosSyndrome #EDSer #ActuallyAutistic
Yes, it’s still Friday in southern California. No, I can’t wait for Saturday to post about Caturday 🐈‍⬛
Saori weaving, my wife’s roses, blue sky over the Pacific Ocean from our balcony.

My wife and I are nodding in agreement.
My vote has been counted.

Please add alt text to a post of this logo. I’m a small business owner and would like to share a post like this with a weaving patterns post but I only repost pics with alt text. #disabled
I keep thinking about ridiculous “high support needs” vs low. Ppl who don’t know me assume low support bc “gifted” (I reject label), what appears to be a successful career & community awards. But I’ve never maintained a job, SSDI $540. Financially dependent on parents/spouse, no friends, etc.

Torrey Pines Pacific sunset a couple of weeks ago. Most beaches are not accessible to people who can’t walk. Nature is my muse. Art is resistance. #StunDay #disabled #EhlersDanlosSyndrome
Sitting up to weave is difficult. I don’t have a weaving set up designed to work without feet and legs holding my loom stand in place.
Freeform overshot creates illustrations and complex patterns on simple looms. My seahorse is a Seashell Scarf pattern 🌀𓇼🌊🐚

In 4th grade my teacher told me to become friends with my bully/abuser. This seems exactly ridiculous like that.
I do Saori weaving. I have two single bobbin shuttles and two double bobbin shuttles for maximum flexibility swapping out yarns.

It’s good to see some proof that billionaires and capitalists in general are using trans people and all DEIA work as as scapegoat bait to distract the public from their overrun of planetary boundaries
I don’t know. 40+ year old yarn from my mother’s stash. Something popular in the late 70s/early 80s! Not the softest. I was practicing my dyeing skills.
Transgender rights are human rights. If you throw trans/nonbinary people under the bus, as you seek determined to do, you’re throwing human rights under the bus. Capitulation to fascists has never won an election.
Knitted edging with sock yarn 🧶
A sweater I wove one autumn from my own hand dyed wool. I have a tiny rigid heddle loom that weaves 4x4 inch squares (see my little loom patterns) 🌀 #PinLoomWeaving

Great to know! I have an iPad and need ebooks.
I just got my San Diego city and county library cards! What would you say is the biggest difference between the contents of the two collections? Thanks in advance!
