Pasamo... with passion
Someone took a picture of me during the festival in Ląd. I like it very much, especially since it's not often that you see a shot without contemporary accents. Our father, the director, chose a good place for the camp.
The photo comes from the website The Piast Trail.
First, I want to reassure some people: it's not that much. But maybe we should exaggerate? There's always a way to make a nice amount of selvedges from a small amount. This time I came up with this idea: By the way, a little selvedge spoiler 😉 Sometimes I realize that I'm weaving just so I can stare at the effects...

Last year was a successful one – at least in terms of weaving. I may gradually be able to report here. I have made some progress in the area of weaving on vertical looms. Previous attempts were different – usually time-consuming and not very engaging. I already have two weft samples from a tapestry with a linen warp and two mixed cloths, so it came…
The selvedges have their place in the house – just an ordinary shelf in a wall unit. I stare at them sometimes. Now I have so many of these selvedges.
