Finnish Diagonals

In this post I'll be talking about a technique which is almost identical to the 3/1 twill from the last post.  It's the Finnish Diagonals technique. My guide for this band was the wonderful book Applesies and Fox Noses by Maikki Karisto and Mervi Pasanen.

A Very Long Adventure in 3/1 Twill

Wow, I have not had a real post on this blog since June, and that's a real shame. Unfortunately real life has become too hectic to be able to spend much real time with weaving.

I have actually had the same project warped on the loom for the past few months and just yesterday managed to finish it up. This was definitely the most difficult project I've worked on, but one which came with a lot of fun and a healthy dose of frustration. The project was my very first attempt at 3/1 twill.
