Weavers Leave Fingerprints Too!
When Justin left me the silk lining, I was musing about how much fun I had visiting when the silk was on the loom and trying it out. Justin then announced that you could certainly see where I had worked. Oh NO I screamed! Yup – I was beating the shed so hard trying to keep from leaving a really loose weave that my section was extra tight. He unrolled the silk and there it was – a 1/8″ stripe across the fabric. I am sure Jill will be able to cut around it in the end when she lays down the pattern pieces.
Who knew weavers have ‘hands’ too!

Oh no no no, that strip needs to be kept inside somewhere. Ok, maybe not somewhere obvious, but someplace where those in the ‘know’ can find it

It’s all the individual hands, and their ‘hand’, that is part of what makes the jacket so real and fascinating. At least to me

I agree with Catherine, it should be in the Jacket, it is part of it’s history. All three weavers should have some silk in the Jacket. By the way, that is really pretty silk.

If we are voting, I vote to keep it in there somewhere, too!

Yep if we’re voting I think it should be in the jacket somewhere! Makes it interesting and as Catherine K says great for those in the know to try and find.

I agree. It needs to be there simply for the educational story that can be told about variation in weavers as well as variation in stitchers. If shaved and taped pencils are archived, weaving variations should be as well!
