These turned out great, but my heart went out to you when you broke your wrist🩷 Hope you heal quickly. Take care, Lee

Thank you! After a 2 month break I’m back weaving! So I’m very happy xx

Beautiful and amazing with a broken wrist…

Thank you so much!

[@TartantazCreates]

Lovely project as always. Here is to a speedy recovery for you.

[@RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane]

Thank you so much!

OUCH!! Excellent job with a broken wrist. Lovely to see you Steph. .. a very striking pattern with the black and white. Would be interested to see a video on the program you use. Wishing you a speedy recovery.

[@RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane]

Your wish is my command! Haha. Yes, as I will be limited in weaving for the next few weeks, I’m working on a ‘how to’ video for the software I use, hopefully coming out in the next couple of weeks 😊

[@cathibeastevenson634]

Lovely, thanks for sharing the new tool (I had not seen a tensioner for a rigid heddle loom)

[@RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane]

You are very welcome ☺️

[@tracir4920]

The iWeaveIt software is great. I use it for my projects too. There is a bit of a learning curve though, and not all of the options are as intuitive as I would have liked, but I got there in the end. I'm looking forward to your video on the program. You likely have tips or tricks that I have not figured out yet.

[@RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane]

Thank you!

[@SBVancouver]

Those look great

[@RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane]

Thank you ☺️

[@knittynancy]

Sorry about your wrist! I love the pattern and your tensioning device - now have the dowels and such to make one for my loom. What software did you use to design your pattern?

[@RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane]

Thank you! I use iWeaveIt software for iPad. I’m working on a ‘how to’ video for this, so keep an eye out for it in the coming weeks. 😊

Love toast and Vegemite but my American kids won’t eat it.

[@RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane]

My daughter in law is from California and she won’t go near it! 😂. I think it’s an acquired taste! But it has been my preferred breaky for more years than I care to count.

Hi, these are beautiful! I am. going to try to follow your pattern and i have the warp all figured out,i just want to make sure that the weaving sequence is the one written underneath the one that is scratched out? I am surprised you used a 12.5 reed but i will give it a try i would have thought that yarn would be too thick. Hope that wrist is feeling almost all better.

[@RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane]

Hi, thank you! I used 12.5 as I find a I prefer a firmer towel, however you can definitely use a 10 if you prefer! Here is the warp and weft sequence. BBWBWBBWBW Repeat, and end with a BB. B= black and W = white. Good luck !

Sorry to hear about your wrist... I'm sure you would rather have been resting it. I love log cabin and the black and white is very dramatic. Also nice to put a face to the voice. ❤

[@RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane]

Thank you! I’m resting it now lol. Luckily I have some other content to put up over the next couple of weeks while I heal.

[@wjblake66]

@@RigidHeddleWeavinginBrisbane That's great Steph. I always look forward to your videos.
