“The Swiss have an interesting army. Five hundred years without a war. Pretty impressive. Also pretty lucky for them. Ever see that little Swiss Army knife they have to fight with? Not much of a weapon there. Corkscrews. Bottle openers. ‘Come on, buddy, let’s go. You get past me, the guy in back of me, he’s got a spoon. Back off. I’ve got the toe clippers right here.’” – Jerry Seinfeld

April / Easter Weaving
I wanted to weave a short table runner with Spring / Easter colors, but also attempt a fairly complex pattern using overshot and pickup techniques. I started with some nice Easter-y pastel colors (the first photo), but was not happy with how the pattern was showing up. I wanted it to be a bit more bold. So, I switched to a deep lilac color (probably deeper than any real lilac), and while the pattern shows better, I don't think it is as Easter-y in color scheme. Oh well.
The original color scheme. The colors here are a bit off because of poor white balance in the photo.
The finished runner. It is about 30" long.
