It has been a very interesting week, and I really enjoy weaving! There are so many options, you wouldn´t believe it!
Thursday I started a small sample on the damask weave, weaving with silk. For this weave you make a pattern based on a grid with 41 squares, and because of the way the weave is set up the pattern will repeat and mirror itself. It takes a lot of time since the thread is so thin, but it gives a really delicate result. For my first sample I made "space invaders":
After the silk, I moved on to a weaving with wool. This time I used a different weave (we have 8-10 different weaves!) where I make up a pattern repeat on a computer. The computer deals with each row in the pattern when I press the pedal, so all I have to do is shift the thread and keep track of the rows really. Here is the sample I am working on now:

Du husker vel vevstolen... Den står klar til deg om du vil ha den
jepp, det vil jeg gjerne! men kan ikke love når den blir henta:) må helst ha litt god plass for å sette opp en vevstol! hehe.
Ser ikke ut til a du kommer til å kjede deg. Det er det som slår meg når jeg ser på de siste innleggene dine. Det ser så spennende ut.
det er spennende! skal veve i 2 uker til, før vi går over på stofftrykk.
Eg likte space-invaders mønsteret:)
