I once designed an insanely complex mostly-intarsia cardigan on graph paper. I made dozens of changes as I knitted it, some of them as subtle as starting a motif on a lower row to make the color changes work better.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-69859515188230376892008-08-20T01:52:00.000+01:002008-08-20T01:52:00.000+01:00Barbara Walker calls linen stitch "fabric stitch"....Barbara Walker calls linen stitch "fabric stitch".

I never ...Interesting take on the tapestry weaving. I never thought about artists commissioning weavers to do their works since I do my own tapestry weaving, among other forms of weaving, too (and knitting and spinning and gee, is there fibre involved in it?). And the tapestry weavers locally who have influenced me often do their cartoons from photos they've taken locally. So I never stopped to think an artist might give the weaver the cartoon and have them weave it. That type of collaboration would involve the trust relationship between two individuals producing their child between them-the artist trusting the weaver to keep true to their vision and the weaver being capable and willing to conform to the artist's dream. Much harder than being a test knitter, I'd think, for me!hokieknitterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10863344272637005443noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-53635416783231163092008-08-19T13:10:00.000+01:002008-08-19T13:10:00.000+01:00I haven't got Walker in front of me, but I think s...I haven't got Walker in front of me, but I think she calls it woven stitch or something like that. I always have to go up a few sizes to keep it from being too tight. When I do potato salad that will sit around, I use a lemony vinagrette, dress the potatoes while still warm, then save a bit to add after they cool. Looking forward to news of the games.Mary Louhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05588244535423212079noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-23578667729158050302008-08-19T11:39:00.000+01:002008-08-19T11:39:00.000+01:00Jean, I've emailed the recipes to you - I hope tha...Jean, I've emailed the recipes to you - I hope that you get/read before you go as I think you may need to do some shopping in Edinburg before you head off to TCOTU. Good luck with all your plans for the Event; I hope the accommodations all work out. Loking forward to the photographic evidence of the Clan Miles' participation.<BR/><BR/>Yes and no regarding weaver's input in the tapestry. I saw the tapestry for the new Catholic Cathedral in Los Angeles, Our Lady of the Angels, and I don't think it would have been entirely the artist's vision - the colours are too cleverly woven in. Definitely the art of the weaver coming to the fore, I believe.Katehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12124722668160658606noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8466385.post-64652665005607850212008-08-19T11:19:00.000+01:002008-08-19T11:19:00.000+01:00Dear Jean -- you continue to keep us grounded (no ...Dear Jean -- you continue to keep us grounded (no pun intended) and informed with your blog, life and knitting, and some days like today I have to "go back" and read the whole entry because you pack so much into it!<BR/><BR/>But a quick salad dressing for potatoes -- very European: proportions<BR/>2 to 1 on the <BR/>1 tablespoon American white vinegar<BR/>2 tablespoons corn oil<BR/>(I usually put chopped up green onions and some dill in with the cooked/cooled/cut up potatoes) ... and as usual, the right amount of salt to taste.
