Weaving Three Prayer Shawls

[@goldensolitude]

Your weaving has gotten so amazing over the years!!!!!

[@Skywalker67897]

Your work is truly beautiful! The people receiving these shawls are very lucky. Thanks for sharing your wonderful craft!

[@loobitzh]

Stunning Shawls. Your design creativity is coming along in leaps and bounds. Thanks for sharing. Your videos always. brighten my day.

[@kaugusta1]

These are so lovely - bet the receivers were so happy and comforted by them.

[@maeganschaefer8217]

Lovely, the people who receive them must feel very loved!

[@thomassiebenhuhner4062]

“Put the pin in that stupid thing”! LOL! Enjoying your vids.

[@pegmathews4397]

Thanks Andy - missed the first two videos so I will backtrack to watch them. Amazing pattern and work.

[@jamiegunnink9406]

Hello from an expatriate Wisconsinite! Enjoy watching your videos! Love the prayer shawls idea. Certainly faster than knitting/crocheting them! Weave on!

[@mydogky]

absolutely beautiful they are so vibrant

[@annacord9561]

When it is different consistently through the fabric, it is a DESIGN ELEMENT, not a mistake! :) Beautiful work.

[@marydeloria8352]

Nice work - as always. I really enjoy your videos.

[@annesfeltedfriends]

Love the sounds your loom makes

[@terrysharing]

Andy, the shawls are absolutely beautiful! It's like a little miracle so see three shawls that each look so different come off a single weave. And I admire your sewing skills as well. I tried sewing years ago but that little needle jumping up and down scares me. Thanks for a very interesting video.

[@curmudgeon66]

I am NOT comfortable with the sewing machine either. That sewing room and machine are Judi's. I have learned just enough to put a hem on towels. What you did not see in the video was Judi showing me how to put that binding on, and standing over my shoulder telling me what to do, and more importantly what not to do, as I put the binding on.

[@carolburns8667]

Beautiful combos of colour and pattern👌🏻🇨🇦

[@mikeobrien5944]

Thank you. Courageous job of sewing at the end - you did great! I like the white one even though you had a tie-up error. Hope you and your wife have a Happy Thanksgiving. Margaret

[@sandiihassenstein8206]

Love the pattern and colors.

[@Odontecete]

Beautiful shawls Andy as always a great video. I love how we all know where our mistakes are in our weaving and we all point them out to each other. LOL. I can't wait for the guilds to start again when it's safe, I love seeing your work up close, the camera does a good job but in person is always better. Take care.

[@curmudgeon66]

I too am waiting for guild meetings in person, where "show and tell" also becomes "touch and feel" of the projects. I've been attending the Wisconsin Handweavers Inc guild meetings via Zoom, and while it saves me a few hours of driving to Milwaukee, I think Id much rather spend the time to get to see things in person.

[@Odontecete]

@@curmudgeon66 can not agree more. I should attend those, it might make me actually complete the never ending scarf that's been on my loom for 4 years now. LOL.

[@Gigimamapa5]

Beautiful. I love the results.

[@CriaAndKiddFW]

Love your videos! I FINALLY got my 8 shaft Ashford after watching your videos for well over a year. It's so nice to do 2×2 twill and all the amazing patterns. Thanks for the inspiration and happy turkey day to you. I hope you do another double with on the table loom soon! Ps- we call the edging "binding" in quilting.

[@kiwilassmanawatu6782]

Choice of colour is very interesting .who would have thought the blue would pop out like that

[@anyamanpongalpha6332]

Its so beautifull. Nice

[@ChrisChambers7732]

Beautiful shawls.

[@KellyCasanova]

They're gorgeous! 😍😍😍

[@Licka566]

😍 so precious!

[@loganpollock1689]

The hardest part of any project is to get my wife to sew the hems for me. I learned that you can sew right across those straight pins with no problem at all.

[@judi6078]

I have, on occasion, broken needles while sewing over pins, so I prefer taking them out prior to sewing those areas, and taught him that.

[@myrany8407]

I dont pin I use quilt binding clips and remove them as I go. Seems to hold everything better.

[@LUISHENRIQUE-lf9lq]

Muito lindo seu trabalho. Parabéns.

[@theehappyhousewife3346]

It's beautiful

[@carolynlawson9635]

BEAUTIFUL!!

[@janineblackburn15]

Good to see you again!

[@janineblackburn15]

The shawls are lovely

[@adamakaru2683]

Church, or not church, I hope they pay for it thank for the great presentation.

[@procrastiknitter3733]

As always, I love your weaving. It pains me, though, to see you struggling with that sewing machine. I can understand why the group doesn't want fringe, but perhaps you could find someone to do a close crochet edge, using the same yarn as in the weaving. If I lived anywhere near you I'd volunteer. Or maybe you could learn to crochet! Oh, and my high school home-ec teacher used to call straggling strands as "Christmas trimmings", and took off lots of points when we missed any of them.

[@judi6078]

While I have done this for him, he really wanted to learn to do this himself.

[@rajumall6176]

Good work sar

[@lizkimber]

Hi. As always i am inspired by your videos. Hopefully next month my spring II arrives. Id love it if you would share you m and w pattern

[@curmudgeon66]

Hi Liz, happy to hear you are getting a Spring II. I can't send a jpg file of the pattern to you in KZbin, but a quick search of FaceBook, for your name, and you have the same cute dog icon so I sent you a friend request on there. As soon as you accept me as a friend I will try to post it to your facebook page. Else drop me an email and I will return the pattern to you. my email address is: curmudgeon66 (at) gmail (dot) com

[@jacalynbledsoe3717]

They are so pretty Andy. Why not finish them each with some Inkle loom edging? That would be pretty. Okay, why did you go back to the bubble? I never began with it. I tried but didn't work for me. I do my own method and my selvages are looking great. I really like the longer video showing the process you used to finish them. Why not take a video sewing class while you are in lockdown? Maybe if you paid Judi she would do the sewing for you...lol. But by not doing it she has forced you to learn...very wise woman!!! I am just happy to see a video from you. Thank you!!!!!

[@curmudgeon66]

Inkle loom strips on the end might work, but are a bunch more work for me to do, and the commercial binding is just easier. As for the "finger poking" bubble, its because this yarn was quite "sticky", and when I tried beating on an open shed in the first of the shawls, I just wasn't happy, didn't seem like I was getting enough weft across each pic, was drawing in a bit too much, so I switched back for this project.

[@jacalynbledsoe3717]

@@curmudgeon66 gotcha.

[@judi6078]

I have done this for him previously. He wanted to learn how to do it himself.

[@jacalynbledsoe3717]

@@judi6078 I knew you had done this for him. I am glad he is doing it himself now. Depending on C-19 this spring/summer, I hope to be able to meet both of you!!! I will be in Minn. from May until late Sept. I have already informed Andy that I would to meet you both while i am in Wisc. for other business...

[@peggyskinner8443]

I really Love your work! These shawls are beautiful. Is there a pattern and would it be possible on a Rigid Heddle?

[@WesternBache]

This is just a guess from research, but I really think that it is possible with the use of several pick up sticks or finger manipulation

[@run34fun]

These are beautiful!! Is there a reason you did t hem them without the binding.

[@curmudgeon66]

I did put a binding on each end of each shawl.

[@run34fun]

I see the binding but just curious if there was a reason for not hemming instead. Wasn’t sure it they needed them that way.

[@kinannelson1784]

I really like the pattern and colors especially on the red and white one. You usually do v shaped shawls, is this the first time you did this kind of shawl? Anyways thanks for a nice and long video!

[@curmudgeon66]

I've done this shape before - last Dec 11th I did a video called "Variegated Prayer Shawl". Thanks for your kind comment.

[@kathydenver5270]

Is there a weaving plan for this project?

[@curmudgeon66]

There is always a plan. But not always a formal one, sometimes it's just in my mind, what do I want it to look like. For this one I knew it was "Ms and Ws".

[@yarncloud8121]

Love the videos. Where did you get your handwoven made labels? Beautiful shawls. Happy Thanksgiving!

[@stephaniethomas8858]

I would like to know where you have your labels made. Really enjoy your videos!

[@Woolmouse]

Are you using tempo treadle?

[@curmudgeon66]

No, I'm not.

[@abdelmonembarakat7112]

،vry good

[@jerseyvanorden-miner4132]

I know you are not monetized but are you aware that KZbin is now placing ads on our channels as of today, they sent out emails today and we can’t stop it from happening? It’s a shame to force their ads, maybe not our beliefs on our channels. I’m glad to see your weaving again. At least you can get monetized and choose the ads you don’t want.

[@curmudgeon66]

Yes - I just received and read that bit of bad news from google / youtube. I'm not happy with it! I've been considering Rumble.com as an alternative, but I also hate the idea of starting all over again to build a channel. Still undecided about what to do.

[@dellaburns7307]

There’s an old saying always leave at least 1 mistake in something you create because if it’s perfect the gods will be jealous and cause you to have bad luck ( yeah right in there dreams😒🍥🍘
