In amongst all the fussing about binding Sweet Thames, I have been steadily weaving on the Voyager. This morning I sewed the seam at the end and cut it off. A bit of tidying up was required and doing the fringes. It looked like a textured brown handspun scarf. Then I washed it several times by hand and hung it up. And that's when I discovered the pattern! It stands out really well if there is light coming through it.
So it really is huck lace with flowers!! I think the pattern came from Handwoven originally but I have changed it a lot. I have tracked the pattern down to Pattie Graver and I am sure it appeared in Handwoven at some point.
Despite the pattern showing up, I think this was all a mistake. The pattern shows up much better with the same non-fuzzy yarn used in both warp and weft.
At the same time, I have been continuing the binding. I am waiting for the glue to dry on the covers and then I will make a complete mockup of the cover. I might go and warp up the Voyager again.
