Bio: Jane Connett has been weaving for 30 years, since Convergence in 1994. She loves to weave krokbragd and wall hangings, and specializes in small loom weavings that are labor-intensive and intricate. The feel and texture of the yarns inspire her to keep learning the processes that create these patterns.
Description: Inspired by a piece by Lila Nelson, I took up the challenge. Using cards with 4 holes individually threaded, I turned the cards to create the patterns. I attached it to a board and reset the tension as I rotated cards forward and backward. The challenge came with using regular American knitting yarns instead of the tighter Norwegian yarns.
Regarding the Scandinavian Weavers Group: I have been truly impressed by some of the experimental weavings that have been done by the group members.
