| The two latest color ways of my Color & Effect Cottolin Towels I played with contrast in a few of the hems on the blue towels. They were fun to weave and are nice to use, too. |
I need
to send a reply to Cindy who commented on my post “Conundrum Solved” from Jan.
14, 2015. She wanted help learning how to balance an Overshot block as in my
Swedish Kitchen rework of Davison’s Nordic Kitchen draft. I found the solution
and an explanation of why blocks wind up unbalanced on pages 41-42 of Madelyn
van der Hoogt’s book “The Complete Book of Drafting for Handweavers”. Her
information is top shelf and comes complete with photos and graphics. I hope you
see this note, Cindy. I apologize for having to reply here. I have tried and
tried unsuccessfully to post a reply. I do not know why this is a problem. (If
you have helpful hints and can manage to post a comment please do.) I hesitate
to think it but it may be time to find a different blog host. Thank you for your kind comment, Cindy.
Here are a few
additional photos of my Color & Weave Effect Cottolin towels. I think of
them as Bull’s Eye. That is not an official name for this draft. It's only an
impression I have. If you see something else feel free to comment – if you can make it work.

Meanwhile, weaving and gardening continue. Things are really popping out in the yard which makes me very happy.
