I’ve been playing with drafts for a guild challenge. My plans were to include hearts in the middle of a twill piece. I’ve accomplished that for the most part, and while I’m not sure I’m done playing with this, I would like to go ahead and get some other thoughts besides my own.
1 Side A
1 Side B
2 Side A
2 Side B
3 Side A
3 Side B
I like the hearts spaced out in number 1 but the sides of the hearts are a little thin. The hearts are closer together in 2 and while they still appeal to me somewhat, there’s still an issue with the sides. I like the sides of the hearts in 3 but so far I haven’t been able to get that heart without the little spots that go out from the sides. The spots don’t bother me at all in side A but I’m not sure I like them in side B. Be honest, tell me what you like or don’t like about these. If you hate them all and think I should go back to the drawing board, I’m ready to hear it.
In other news, I finished weaving the fabric for panels for our doors. I was 2 inches short of weaving a full 6 yards. I’ve washed the fabric and pressed it. I hand hemmed the.. uh.. pocket for the rod to go through. I haven’t cut the bottom yet, still thinking about how long I want them. Pictures soon, so far the only ones I have are on my phone.

I find #3 most visually interesting. Question tho – what are you going to use the cloth for? Might have a different opinion if it was curtains vs towels.

Likely a scarf that will never get worn haha. Definitely not curtains, though towels could be a possibility.

Three good contenders. I’d say time to sample.

I preferred #3 also. I think that the little spots would disappear if the yarn grist was very fine. I think the pattern would look great with tone on tone pink 10/2 tencel or bamboo.
