What does a weaver do when she runs out of drying cloths for her salad greens? Warp up her loom with 16/2 cotton (from a couple of over-sized 2.5 # cones) and experiment with lace weaves.
Jackie has a lot of skill in designing lace, so in the planning stages for designs for salad green cloths, she devised several variations that could be woven on the same warp. She was undecided about the sett, but finally settled on 26 epi for these regal additions to her kitchen! Some of the cloths are a bit crisp and we wondered if one of her cones had some linen in it. Might make the cloth just a bit more thirsty.
Jackie isn't the only crazy weaver in our group. Recently Dee's granddaughter told her that she never uses paper towels to mop up messes - always rags which she washes and reuses. Dee's gift to her granddaughter was a collection of handwoven rags. Overcast edges rather than hems, but still!

Those gorgeous lace towels make me want to weave some of them soon. Thank you for the inspiration.
