I love the online four selvedge class, I can replay sections, warm up the artistic juices as often as I need.
PS. Regarding this blog post Sarah, referencing the second video .... too funny, you sitting upon your pillow chin and eyes upward... classic pose of WOW!!! Love your efficient followthrough on ideas.

Thanks Patti! Pretty silly, but fun to make -- and a warp at the end of it!

I'm fascinated by your bracelet. How did you get it to curve? Is it around a cuff? Or does bending it around your wrist and fastening it make it curve? I've made a couple using different methods. This is great!

Thanks! I just bent it around my wrist and fastened. Since it is slightly stiff tapestry, it was happy to make a circle.

You do the things you must do in order to do the things you can do.

Hi Sarah! So my comment is totally unrelated to your blog post, but I'm not sure how to get in touch with you other than here. I was just watching your four selvedge tapestry warping video (long trailer) on Rebecca's site and absolutely LOVE that gray sweater you are wearing! Rebecca tells me that you knit it - beautiful job! Would you be able to tell me what the pattern is and the source? As a knitter myself, I would like to see if it is something I could make as well. Thanks so much! Debbie

Hello Debbie -- Thanks for your kind words about that Sweater. It is an old favorite that I knit in 1988 with yarn I spun from a Romney fleece.
There is not, alas, a pattern for it other than an article by Alice Starmore in issue 11 of Threads Magazine (Dec. 1987/Jan 1988), showing the basic structure of an Aran Sweater with Sleeve Straps, and a number of cable patterns. The addition of the Henley style Neck with buttons was my own addition (though not complicated. My guess is that if you could get hold of her Book on Aran Knitting, much of the same info would be there only more in depth.
Sorry I can't be more specific than that -- but totally recommend this thrilling method of building a sweater.

OOPS -- sorry Debbie. It was issue #14, not 11, though the dates are correct. The back of hte mag is so worn I didn't read the # correctly.

Thanks very much Sarah! But alas, it sounds more complicated than I am interested in at the moment! I will see if I can get a hold of that issue and/or book though - just to check it out! Thanks again.
