Guess which glutton for punishment started not one but two scarves on the same loom simultaneously?? Will it work? Who knows! Stay tuned.if it does, this is a hell of a way to use up yarns. Had under 200g of the blue (left), and 50 g of the blue (right), one whole shuttle of the shhh! In the pastel rainbow shade for the left weft and under 25 g each of three differing shades of sidar’s soft spun for the right weft

New loom dropped!

I got a handmade present from my aunt! I didn't quite warp it correctly, but the way I'm doing it currently works so good enough!

The pattern's inspired by aSpinnerWeaver's Reptile Inspiration snake pattern. I didn't want to weave something as wide, though it did en up wider than I'd hoped for, I think is still looks awesome.

franco colapinto + what gets lost in translation

R.F Kuang, Babel, Or the Necessity of Violence / Miguel de Cervantes, Don Quijote de la Mancha / R.F Kuang, Babel, Or the Necessity of Violence / John Ciardi, Translator's Note in Dante's Inferno

i've seen in the past days multiple interviews by franco in spanish that have been translated to english. there isn't a single way to translate, nor there is there a way to convey everything that is being said when translating. as someone that translates from english to spanish and viceversa frequently, a language does not stand on it's own. it has a culture, a context, mannerisms that don't really exists in the language it's being translated to, and all a translator can do is try and convey everything the best they can just using words.

franco is, after all, argentinian, and has spanish as first language. he prefers to talk in spanish over english, and with the rise of translations due to the amount of interviews he does in spanish, i've seen a lot of either mistranslations or translations that don't fully convey the context or the nuances of what is being said, and act like franco textually said that.

that's why i urge non-spanish speaking people to not take every translation as it is. dig a bit deeper before misinterpreting translations of what he said. language isn't just a mash of words that can be translated one-to-one and still keep the same meaning.

with that said, i want to dedicate this web weaving to @divorcedpierresteban, the ennabler of me making this.

harpies speak from their syrinx which is in their chests.

Cuinn got basic lessons as a kid like everyone else but was not able to continue learning and developing his skills once he was taken as a tiercel. He's trying to relearn it now using some weaving frames designed for humans which make things a little easier than the freehand/frameless style from his home eyrie.

Thunder Strike is pretty good but he's so focused on the end product that it's all he can think about when he gets to work. As a king he doesn't have a lot of free time to work on it though.

Terrestrial harpies don't have a weaving instinct but obviously they can still learn it as a skill, Wildfire just didn't care for it. He prefers to play with dyes and paints. The people of his eyrie produce dyed grass threads which the others can weave with.

@doomhamster, no, damask is a way of getting a complex pattern like flowers or stripes with the texture of the weave, instead of a print. it's common in (older?) linen tablecloths and napkins, and still used in some home dec fabrics. it's often used as a way of getting a figured pattern in a single-color fabric (but can also be multi colored).

People… its time. I finally have a floor loom. It has 4 shafts and 6 treadles and Ive warped it up for the first time today. Look at it!! Im so exited c:

[kiwisoap]

Been doing more weaving!!!! Everything above the first yellow stripe was done in a single sitting LMAO. I wish I'd put a couple burgundy stripes a little earlier in the weave to kinda balance the colors but oh well!

[sparklesmaug]

Oh yeah here's a wip of my second weaving project ^-^

Plains Aboriginal weaver

Mrs. Gai Ah-yun, a Plains Aboriginal woman, demonstrates the use of a backstrap textile loom in this late 19th-century photograph.

Mrs. Gai Ah-yun was a teacher of sewing and the matron of the School for Women, established in Tamsui by Dr. Mackay in the 1880s. The clothing she wears in the photograph appears in an exhibit at the Royal Ontario Museum. Together with the carnelian and metal jewelry, this is perhaps the only complete set of Plains Aboriginal bridal clothing and jewelry in existence.

i GOT to get a backstrap loom going one of these days too. i want to weave. i crave it. i loved making that strip of woven fabric that i now use as hand towels but i want more possibilities. the strip of fabric can only be so wide with the loom i have. but i CAN steal the shuttles from it for backstrap weaving. i could even steal the heddle if i want to do something that thin or thinner. but the point is kind of to. not do that.
