The Great Handwoven Towel Exchange of 2008


At the exchange meeting, I started out with the best of intentions to photograph the event all the way through. But, I got distracted by all the beautiful towels and didn't get good pictures of most of them. However, I did come home with six wonderful towels myself, so I'm rounding out the photos of the exchange with close up pictures of those I chose. Most people -- maybe all of us, didn't weave all the same towel for the exchange, so we were all like kids in the candy store with more choices than we had towels to exchange

Random stumbler, but just wanted to say that these towels are amazing to a non-weaving member of the general public.
