still on the loom because it is warped for 4 or 5 kitchen towels, but here are some pictures of it in progress.

At this point since it is still under tension it doesn't look very waffely but when I have finished the whole warp, cut the towels off the loom, washed and finished the edges, hopefully the waffle weave( small indented squares) and the plain weave (flat cloth like sections) will look distinctly different and equally good. There is some shrinkage that has to happen which can't happen until the pressure is released, the towels are "fulled" ( washed and shrunk) and finished ( hemmed and tidied up.)

Very cool, Marni! And happy belated birthday!

**salsabike** · 05-24-2011, 08:47 PM

I like the colors. And I'm a weaver too so of course I needed to see pics!

Can someone post the link of that photo of the (?)nude norwegian chick cyclist that people are offended of sometimes??? I want to do something similar

but have to show a person the photo first....

HB Marni!

Well, I just got asked to consider joining a large, high profile firm that does the work that I do. Flattered at the suggestion, but I believe it's not the right fit for me right now. It is always nice to be asked, though. I am going to try to beg off in a way that will let me approach them in 5 - 10 years and re-initiate the conversation.

MP - VERY nice to be wanted!

Congratulations!! It's always good to have options - even if they aren't the right options at the moment

So, aside from my post the other day congratulating MP on her latest feat of endurance, I've never really posted here or even followed the thread. Care to accept a late-comer?

I'll officially start by wishing marni a belated happy birthday! I'm glad you had a good day.

Second, congrats to MP on the job offer, even if it's not something you're interested in accepting; it's still cool!

Third, I took a Pilates reformer class yesterday--only my second ever--and I'm hurtin' a bit. It was really humbling and challenging. I'd really like to incorporate it on a regular basis if I can find a good duet partner. It's pricey, but I think I could really benefit from it.

Which one? There are lots of photos of nude Norwegian chicks on bicycles.

**lph** · 05-25-2011, 07:50 AM

Me, you mean? Anytime, cc

No, but I know of two photos, both taken for a calendar, none of them nude. One of them is of Gunn Rita Dahle in a gold metallic bikini/hotpants thingy, with something that looks like a huge gong in the background, another one is of a girl whose name I can't recall, she's wearing a black bikini and high heels and is sort of crawling toward the camera

I'm not a huge fan of either the shots, but I can probably find them and pm them to you if you like.

Edited to add: the second shot is of Lene Byberg, and it's the Cyclepassion calendar. You should be able to google them with that.

I think it was Knott's avatar at one time

Oh, do you mean the woman with no ribs?

**Owlie** · 05-25-2011, 10:14 AM

CC, I think I know what you're talking about, but I wouldn't know how to start looking for it...

Right now I'm consumed with the need to find my pair of jewelry pliers. They used to be in my desk, and then everything got moved around when my parents repainted my room. I have no clue where they are now. I'm also starting to think I need to run over to the craft store when I get my car back and pick up a couple more packages of poly clay. I'm thinking of making some little yellow ducks, and guess what I don't have? Yellow clay.

I do mostly traditional Navajo weaving on a traditional frame loom, but one of the groups I belong to insists on doing a study project each year, and those don't always fit on a tapestry type loom. The one pictured is an 8 heddle/8 treadle floor jack loom. (for inquiring minds).

I wonder if there are more of us lurking in the wallpaper?
